What are the benefits of Reformer Pilates?
The reformer is a versatile machine and can benefit those who are not able to lay on the floor for mat pilates. It involves using a range of different tensioned springs to move the bed either with the upper or lower body using straps to pull or the foot bar to push the bed. Benefits of the reformer include increased strength, flexibility, balance, coordination, improved core stability leading to improvements in activities of daily living, and improved quality of life.
