I love the Galileo and so do my athletes and personal training clients. The Galileo has quickly become a "must do" in our workouts. Whole body vibration is the next frontier in training and Galileo is the best in the industry."

"I use the Galileo/Vibraflex everyday with my clients ranging from pro athletes to super moms and super dads. The variety of exercises that we are able to do on the Galileo and the way we are able to vary the intensity make it exceptional. From a therapeutic tool to a hard core piece of gym equipment, Galileo offers something and more to everyone in my gym. I have yet to find a move that cannot be improved upon by adding Galileo to the equation."

"For the past three years, the Weil Foot & Ankle Institute has used the Galileo 2000 System in two areas.

Sports Medicine
Through our physical therapy department, we have instituted a program whereby our "weekend athletes" use the Galileo to rehabilitate ankle sprains and other acute injuries. Our physical therapists have discovered that exercise on the Galileo is a valuable adjunct to proprioceptive training and speeds the recovery. At the suggestion of one of our patients, Frank Thomas, the Chicago White Sox have placed a Galileo in the training room of their facility. After about one month, the players insisted on having a portable unit brought with them on road trips during the baseball year.

Elderly Patients
We have found that many of our elderly and arthritic patients feel "considerably better" following an exercise session on the Galileo. We cannot yet explain or quantify the results of these treatments, but our ongoing research in this area, using an SF36 Musculoskeletal assessment tool, should give us some worthwhile data to use in setting up further research studies."

''The Galileo has become an integral part of treatment and rehabilitation for many of my patients. It has transformed recovery time and increased patient complience (and enjoyment) in a variety of musculo-skeletal conditions. This is a serious piece of equipment for practitioners who are serious about optimising their outcome measures.''

"The Galileo is perfect for those golfers that do not have time to warm up, perform daily exercise and it will keep your body stretched out during the entire game."

Before discovering Galileo I had paid for a power training session at a London department store. Whilst I was impressed with the vibration training I found the machine vibrated a bit too much on the head and jaw. I investigated the technique further using the internet and that is where I came across Galileo. The team were extremely helpful and knowledgeable and they invited me to come to their studio for a free trial and I was immediately impressed. The difference between the Galileo and the other vibrating machine was incredible. I could feel the machine on my lower back and was so impressed after 30 minutes that I ordered a machine. I have suffered with back problems which has been due to bad posture and I noticed a big difference in my posture within a couple of days. This was due to the galileo strengthening the lower back muscles which in turn automatically made me stand upright.

I have had almost no back or neck problems since using the machine and I must say my husband and I found a HUGE difference on our skiing techniques due to the strength in our legs. We could ski all day for 5 days having not been for two years and this has never been the case on previous trips where after two days our legs would ache. I can not recommend Galileo highly enough.

After my last pregnancy I was left with unsightly thread veins on my legs and was very conscious of wearing skirts. For years I had tried various remedies, with no success. I was very seriously considering laser surgery when I decided to use the Galileo. The results have been nothing short of phenomenal. I used the machine 3-4 times a week for a duration of 10 minutes a session. Over the course of 6-8 weeks I increased the frequency from 15-22hertz. My thread veins have reduced in colour, are less defined, and although not completely gone I am not conscious of them anymore. The Galileo has helped immensely with circulation and increased my muscle tone. I am relieved I did not schedule in for surgery.

I'm a male age 65 who had a stroke Jan. 1999. It affected my left side and I have no use of my left arm and wear a brace on my left leg.
Since I started exercising on the Galileo in Nov. 2002 I feel improvement in my balance and increased strength in my leg which has enabled me to walk without scuffing my toe due to my drop foot. Although it's only been a short period I am hopeful of continued improvement."

“We’re keen to explore different initiatives and ideas at the centre and Galileo came to us highly recommended. We decided to invest in the Galileo Fitness model and after only a few weeks it has become a valuable addition to the treatments we offer.”

"The exercise benefits that patients can gain with this device can increase the scope of rehabilitative medicine. It has possibilities, for example, for use in cardiac rehabilitation patients."

"Practicing Physical Therapy in a rural, 'catch all' environment has its challenges. Our practice consists of one full time PT, one full time PTA and one part time PT tech. We work with orthopedic pre & post-operative, geriatric and sports medicine patients with an average patient load being 18-20 per day. Finding effective exercise options that are applicable to a variety of patient types is one of our challenges. This has been greatly reduced by the Galileo 2000. We use the Galileo for the post-op arthroscopic knee, VMO retraining, ankle rehabilitation, proprioceptive training, lumbar and pelvic stabilization. We are also in the process of implementing some programs for treatment of Parkinsons and osteoporosis, as well as athletic enhancement. We have seen rapid strength gains, improved balance, decreased LBP and increased functional ability in those patients rehabilitated with the Galileo 2000 in conjunction with other therapeutic exercises."
