The science behind Whole Body Vibration

      The technology behind Galileo was originally developed in the Soviet Union to treat Cosmonauts who       experience bone and  muscle wasting as a result of living in zero gravity and has since been refined   
      to enhance the performance of Olympic  athletes.  This innovative and ground breaking technology 
      has been subjected to extensive research and studies in over 30 Universities world wide and the
      European Space Agency. 


      The effects of the vibrations can be targeted to specific areas-back, quads, calf, hamstrings, pelvic floor etc.  An intense
      workout is performed in a brief time, without muscle soreness following exercise. 

      You will be assessed by one of our qualified physiotherapists and an individual program will be devised for you to achieve
      your goals with maximum training effects. 


      Do you suffer from?
  •     Back or neck pain
  •     Arm or leg pain
  •     Poor balance
  •     Difficulties with walking
  •     Muscular weakness
  •     Osteoporosis
  •     Diabetes-Poor Circulation of the legs & feet
  •     Poor muscle control
  •     Incontinence
       You can use whole body vibration therapy to:
  •     Reduce/Eliminate Pain
  •     Improve muscle strength
  •     Increase joint motion
  •     Increase muscle tone & muscle mass
  •     Increase bone density associated with osteoporosis
  •     Increase flexibility & co-ordination
  •     Improve circulation associated with Diabetes
  •     Strengthen pelvic floor muscles and improve pelvic floor function
  •     Improve balance & decrease risk of falling
  •     Rehabilitate with CP, Parkinsons
  •     Improve core stability
  •     Decrease diastolic blood pressure

       Conditions not suitable for use of whole body vibration or for which programs need to be modified:
  •     Pregnancy
  •     Pacemaker
  •     Acute Thrombosis (blood clots)
  •     Malignant tumours
  •     Recent fractures
  •     Gallbladder or kidney stones
  •     Metal implants
  •     Acute inflammation/Pain
  •     Epilepsy


Whole Body Vibration can help you:

· Accelerates Weight Loss
WBV stimulates all cells in the body to function at a higher rate, which in turn increases the metabolism causing more fuel to be burnt which helps to accelerate weight loss.

· Reduces Cellulite
WBV causes increased local circulation to targeted areas, in turn giving the visible cellulite area a "smoother" look.

· Reduces Varicose Veins
WBV causes increased lymph drainage, which lowers the pressure in varicose veins so the valves of the veins can close off.

· Increases Energy
WBV stimulates all cells in the body, increases blood flow, and oxygen intake and stimulates metabolism to help flushes out toxins.

· Increases Bone Density
There are two types of bone cells. Ostioblast (bone maker) and Ostioclast (bone shaper) Bone loss is due to more Ostioclast than Ostioblast cells. WBV stimulates more weight bearing exercise and gravity stimulates ostioblast cells.

· Improves Muscle Strength
WBV improves muscle strength the same way as regular exercise does. Vibrations lengthen and shorten the fibers how ever many times per second that you have the frequency set at, which is more efficient and increases strength.

· Enhances Wellness
WBV increases blood flow, lymph drainage, oxygenation of cells, the release of endorphins, and detoxification of the body.

· Enhances Detoxification
WBV works from the inside out. Waste products are expelled at a cellular, lymphatic and excretion level.

· Improves Circulation
WBV improves circulation through increased blood flow by stimulating the exercise heart rate.

· Improves Relaxation
WBV increases circulation, blood flow and oxygen intake. WBV also reduces cortisol (the stress hormone) and creates and releases endorphins. It also detoxifies the system, enhancing relaxation.

· Increases Libido
WBV increase circulation and blood flow and increases HGH and Testosterone levels. On another level WBV also helps to release endorphins, detoxify the system and reduce cortisol.

· Enhances Rehabilitation
WBV assists by allowing new tissues to build and grow, increases circulation, allows the oxygenation of cells, increases metabolism and flushes the toxins out of the body at a higher and faster rate.

· Increases Flexibility
The direct effect of WBV stimulates blood flow to ligaments and tendons and enhances the stretch reflex.

· Cardio Effects
Since the muscles are working at almost100% through the use of WBV, they are burning more glucose and oxygen, therefore pushing the heart to pump harder and get more oxygen to the muscles.
