• Because of the constant, consistent friction resistance of the Orbital 360 there is no risk of compression stress or crushing force, which can be damaging to brittle bones. There is virtually no joint stress and no chance of damaging growth plates.

• The stresses places upon the bones with traditional equipment only provide stress in a single plane of movement. The
Orbital 360
which moves in multiple planes with rotational resistance causes multiple planes of stress which creates denser bones. Physical stress causes bone cells to make new bone. (WOLF'S LAW—NEW BONE IS LAID DOWN ALONG THE LINES OF STRESS)

• Since the body is not limited to repeated movements like it is when using existing exercise machines such as treadmills, cross trainers, stationary bicycles etc. the amount of repeated physical stress associated with most cardiovascular exercise equipment is eliminated .

• The ability to perform exercise above the heart is extremely valuable to the recovery of cardiac patients.

• With traditional equipment, the antagonist group works statically to stabilize the working muscles. Given the ability to work both agonist and antagonist muscle groups helps to provide a balance of strengthening and musculoskeletal structure which has never been offered before in any exercise product.

• This dynamic training increases the body's structural integrity supporting optimal performance while training for sports. It prevents injury and delivers results in less time than traditional linear equipment. These versatile exercise capabilities re-write the current standards of fitness, rehabilitation and sports conditioning.

• Recent development in the fields of Exercise Science and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation have shown that functional training and core conditioning are very important methods of exercise for balanced programming.

• Musculoskeletal rehabilitation and injury prevention: those suffering from common musculoskeletal ailments including low back, hip and shoulder pain, carpel tunnel syndrome and other physical problems will benefit rapidly from zero impact therapeutic capabilities of the Orbital 360.

• Risk of injury is decreased dramatically with the Orbital 360. The design of the machine contrasts traditional resistance exercises which forces the individual into isolated movement patterns. These patterns are not based on the individual's own mechanics but are dictated either by the machine or by gravity, placing significant stress on the joints. With the Orbital 360, since the resistance is friction based, no load is placed on the body because resistance is only provided when the individual uses the handles based upon their own ability.

* Always consult your Physician before starting an exercise program.

TESTIMONIALS

— Testimonial from Dr. Foster, New York
"I really love this machine....The exercises it can do, as far as working through a range of motion with resistance, are really innovative and effective. It allows me to do activities with patients that I can't do with other equipment or bands. And patients love it, which means that they keep their appointments, they get better, and they refer their families and friends. Everybody wins."

If anyone has a question about the machine from a medical perspective, please contact Orbitalsphere@aol.com and your e-mail will be forwarded to Dr. Foster for a response.

— Testimonial from Dr. David Lipman, Chiropractor
"My practice was always had a heavy concentration on rehabilitative procedures combined with Chiropractic Care. I had a traditional understanding and belief in the accepted methodologies and equipment used in the physical therapy capacities. Upon my initial exposure to the concept of The Orbital 360, I had a proverbial "Ah-Ha moment" realizing that the premise alone behind the design of The Orbital 360 stood to be perhaps the most significant breakthrough in rehabilitative philosophy, art and science that had been introduced. The fact that the technology was fashioned after the body's own ball and socket joint which promoted a direct dynamic of function between the machine and the individual, in my mind would foster a system of rehabilitation and fitness, that for the first time worked in true synergy with the actual kinetics of the musculoskeletal system's biomechanics.

And in practice, that is exactly what I had found anecdotally with dozens of patients and clients in both a rehab and fitness capacities. The impact of The Orbital 360 on the correction of musculoskeletal dysfunction had been unlike any of the traditional methodologies I had experienced to date. I had numerous occasions, including my very first patient exposure, where an individual presented in an acute exacerbated state with a hip or shoulder pain syndrome, had IMMEDIATE reduction of symptoms following a 10 minute session with The Orbital 360. In addition, patients with chronic pain syndromes including Rotator Cuff, Lateral Epicondylitis (Tennis Elbow), Medial Epicondylitis (Golfer's Elbow), Mid, Lower back and hip were all becoming resolved within 2-4 treatments with the Orbital 360. In 1 case, an 86 year old female patient who had been suffering from frozen shoulder syndrome for 6 months and was never able to obtain greater than 10 degrees of abduction from traditional methods had an immediate increase of about 25 degrees following the first treatment and 65 degrees in both abduction and flexion after the second treatment with the Orbital 360.

The Orbital 360 also had, in 1 particular case, promoted an increase of bone density in a patient who had Osteoporosis about 17% over her previous reading 6 months prior. That same patient had, for the previous 6 months to that been doing traditional weight-bearing exercise and improved only 4% from the bone density scan administered 6 months before. The Orbital 360 was the only exercise device being used for the latter 6 month period prior to the 17% increase.

From just this anecdotal evidence combined with my own personal experiences using The Orbital 360, I feel additional studies will reveal yet other incredible results in the treatment of musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction syndromes and will eventually re-write the current standards of fitness and rehabilitation."
