The Pilates Reformer is a great tool for back rehab, flexibility and total body workout
Pilates is a method of exercise and physical movement designed to stretch, strengthen and balance the body. Developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 20th century, the Pilates method is a systematic practice of specific exercises and focused breathing patterns that combine flexibility, strengthening, spinal alignment, core stabilization, balance and coordination.
The benefits of Pilates include:
- Body awareness

- Strength and flexibility
- Improved posture
- Bone density and joint health improve
