Whole Body Vibration Therapy

(featuring Galileo)

‘Results can been seen with just two 15 minute sessions per week’

Whole Body Vibration Therapy was originally designed by NASA to recover strength and bone mass in astronauts. It is now used by elite athletes, professional sporting clubs and leading medical institutes, to offer an amazing array of health and fitness benefits, irrespective of age or fitness level. 
 
Your physiotherapist can tailor a program specific to your needs and goals thanks to the Galileo’s flexible frequency patterns. Supervision from your physiotherapist minimises the risk of injury whilst maximising the effects of training.

How does it work?
Unlike conventional training which works voluntary muscle movements, WBVT stimulates involuntary muscle movement through the involuntary stretch reflex. This works the same way as the patella reflex, when the doctor taps just below the kneecap and the lower leg moves upwards in an involuntary manner. Involuntary muscle activation yields a number of benefits not seen with regular exercise.
