Trieneke Hengst, edema therapist, Heerenveen
"We have treated people with edema, scarring and other medical problems. We also treat women who have to undergo mastectomy. Some of our experiences:
- the fitness improves greatly! People can often resume their normal lives
- reduced edema size
- much less or disappearance of pain
- smaller scar tissue, with improved blood circulation and more flexible
- people have no more 'restless' legs at night and sleep better
- the mobility is greatly improved, people can cycle again and perform other activities. By this they can better maintain their own fitness.
- The drug use dropped drastically
Leo van Diggele, manual therapist, Winterswijk
We use the Galileo for almost any complaint. Blood flow is greatly improved, which benefits the recovery. We use the Galileo especially when the propriocepsis is disturbed. People also like a vibration session very much.
Gerard van der Poel, sports masseur / natural medicine therapist, Noordwijk
People with spasms benefit from Galileo stimulation. We see a reduction in the spasms and the balance is increasing. It is advisable to start with a low frequency and stay below 16 Hz.
With problems of leg fatigue or of general nature vibration with the Galileo is an excellent therapy. The frequency no higher than 20 Hz and of course build it up slowly during the first weeks.
People with SCI can benefit greatly from Galileo stimulation. Blood flow in the extremities is increasing and it gives them more energy. Also, the tissues (bone, tendons) are activated by which they do not lose much in quality. The frequency can be quite high immediately (19-24 Hz).

During our research on diabetes patients, one patient indicated that since the training on the Galileo the osteoarthritis symptoms virtually disappeared.
Physiotherapist Hintham, FC Den Bosch
For some players we had a Galileo training run after a muscle rupture. After 3 weeks they were already active in the field, much faster than normal, and the ultrasound showed a good recovery with almost no scar tissue.
Physiotherapy Boot en Broersen, Lisse
A football player with a restriction of the left ankle, regular pain after exertion, especially shooting. Our goal was to mobilize and reduce pain. The program was 3 x 30 Hz, 5 times weekly for 3 weeks in squat posture. The restriction is gone, pain complaints only after very heavy exercise. Especially with foot, ankle and calf complaints we use Galileo a lot.
Internist (researcher "Osteosupport" Rotterdam)
We have conducted a pilot study with the Galileo. After 4 months we noticed a significant improvement in bone density, measured by DEXA, compared with a control group. The trained group consisted of people suffering from osteopenia . They exercised a vibration training once a week. After 2 years the improvement appears to have persisted and we have measured significant improvements."
Physiotherapist Tigra, Heerenveen
Initially, the device is used for purposes with scientifically proven, positive effects. This applies to strength improvement, improved bone quality and improved joint mobility. The latter is demonstrated in our practice every day.
People with arthritis of ankle, knee and hip have obvious improvements in mobility and pain (reduction).
Fysiotherapeut Medicort, Utrecht
We had 20 patients with prolonged Plantar Fasciitis (heel spurs), 12 patients with prolonged Achilles tendon complaints and 25 patients with acute tendon / muscle injuries. In all, we implemented a program of 6 x 1 minutes to 20 Hz. Effect was clearly marked improvements, thus reducing the symptoms.
Ted van de Ploeg, sports masseur / natural medicine therapist, Noordwijk
I regularly see athletes, especially long distance runners, with (chronic) tendon complaints. I recommend them to stop walking and to exercise a Galileo training 3 times a week at 20 to 26 Hz. After about 4 weeks, the complaints have disappeared.
Heel spurs can be relatively easily remedied. Starting with too heavy stimulation may result that after the 1st two times the pain temporarily worsens.
People with shin splints would do well to vibrate very frequently (preferably at least 3 times per week), but not higher than 11 Hz .
Goof Schep, sports physician (researcher "Maxima Medical Center" Veldhoven)
The experience of our training program (including the vibration plate) with chemotherapy are very good. Through a questionnaire about subjective experience, we can analyze the personal experience about the vibration plate.
