Just over a week ago Freedom Physio and Pilates took delivery of state of the art technology that provides our community with the opportunity to tackle the problem of osteoporosis head on. Galileo Whole Body Vibration utilises a vibrating platform which multiplies the effect of weight-bearing strength training by a factor of up to 26 times. It is easy to learn and fun to use.
Galileo Whole Body Vibration Training was developed in response the problem of cosmonauts rapidly developing osteoporosis and muscle wasting in a zero gravity environment. Scientific research has supported its use in not only osteoporosis, but also strength and balance training both in rehabilitation and elite sports training. Lance Armstrong, AC Milan and Collingwood Football Clubs all use Galileo training.
So far we have been having a ball teaching our clients this new form of strength training. People with LBP appear to get a dramatic and lasting effect on both pain and stiffness - this occurs due to rapid re-training of the lumbar core muscles.
The only down side is that the staff at Freedom have become addicted to Galileo Whole Body Vibration. Ian Stott our massage therapist has replaced his morning coffee with a burst of good vibrations and he swears that he has found a natural tonic for over-indulgance in red wine. Another great effect of Galileo according to Ian is that he has a way now to wake up a sedated post massage client! Shaken but not stirred.....
We love this Galileo stuff so much that we are happy to offer you a free initial consultation with no obligation just to get an experience of its effects. |
