The Reformer is certainly the most well-known and popular Pilates apparatus. The Reformer operates with spring resistance and features a carriage/platform that slides forward and backward on wheels. Thanks to additional attachments and numerous exercises and their variations, the Reformer is a truly versatile and effective tool for fitness, rehabilitation, and overall well-being maintenance.
The Reformer is highly versatile:
The Reformer apparatus facilitates the development of balanced strength and flexibility. It provides eccentric and concentric muscle contractions (push and pull movements against resistance), comprehensive and balanced training of the musculoskeletal system (muscles, as well as alignment and posture), and improves mobility.
By using spring resistance instead of weights, the Reformer offers gradual, seamless resistance. This ensures correct and safe muscle movement. The resistance at the beginning of the movement is weak and strengthens towards the muscle's strongest point with heavier resistance at the end of the movement. This prevents strains and significantly reduces stress on tendons and ligaments.
The Reformer is highly versatile:
- Enables the performance of hundreds of different exercises
- Gentle on the joints
- Allows for the execution of various movements and their variations due to injuries or other limitations
- Facilitates the implementation of three-dimensional movements in rehabilitation and treatment
- Suitable for everyone, from rehabilitation patients to elite athletes
