I am disabled due to a problem with my joints (started when I was 36). I look like everyone else, but have trouble doing anything that requires joint movement, pushing pulling, lifting anything above, say 20 lbs. With this machine I am able to build and stretch muscles and ligaments without damaging my joints.
I am stronger, can do more, and with Pilates everyday, I find I am starting to use their principles in my daily life - how to lift, move, etc. - and I have so much greater range of motion! I have to watch out now, because I automatically go to do things I would never have tried before (knowing I would be injured)!
Anyone with arthritis, other joint problems, don't hesitate - this makes a great deal of difference in your health.
I only wish I could have bought this reformer 16 years ago when I was originally injured!"..." Read more
