This study from Korea uses the identical Galileo Therapy exercises as the study from 2002 #GRFS25<\/a> from Rittweger et al. It also uses the simple set-up of Galileo Therapy at 18Hz for 5 minutes twice a week, with knees bent slightly. And it also reports results in line with Rittweger et al., with a reduction of 52% of back-pain (VAS-scale) within 12 weeks. In addition less subjective parameters like Posturography (balance) or fall risk (fall index) were quantified which improved by 58% as well as the Oswestry disability index, which describes the limitations on every-day living caused by a condition, which improved by 30%. <\/p>\n

improved by 30%. All this with only 5 minutes of Galileo per session! The control group used a time-consuming lumber spine exercise program focusing on stretching but showed much smaller results. <\/p>\n

A big advantage in Galileo Therapy is that when using the right exercises an stimulation frequencies, Galileo Therapy can show almost always (apart from building-up muscle or bone mass) a notable immediate effect. This way it is easy to identify if the right exercises and stimulation frequencies where used \u2013 if there is no immediate effect then try another exercise or adjust the therapy parameters. Maybe re-adjust the used frequency range: below 10Hz: range of motion, massage, balance, proprioception; 12-20Hz: Muscle function, coordination, (back-)relaxation, stretching, flexibility, spasticity management (passive); above 20Hz: Muscle mass, increase of power and endurance, spasticity management (active) (# GIS1<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Especially for muscle relaxation this usually works: Use the adequate exercise (for relaxation usually 16-18Hz, in our experience about 20% of the population prefer low frequencies of 6-8Hz which feels more like a massage, which works fine as well, even though the mid frequencies in theory should work better because stretch reflexes triggered by the Galileo vibration will inhibit the counter-acting muscles.<\/p>\n
