The Pilates Clinic teaches this method in a rehabilitation setting created from a whole body assessment and customized training program to promote healing and recovery. Common injuries treated include low back and neck pain, arthritis, balance deficits, and overuse injuries like tendonitis.

Getting Started With Pilates
Pilates Equipment
The Reformer
The reformer is a great machine to learn the basic Pilates exercises in an environment that will help you:
- unload your joints,
- stabilize your trunk, and
- get feedback to build your power and master your technique.
The black carriage is a moving table that has springs attached; it has with various levels of resistance to challenge your strength and core all in one session. The straps connect to your hands or feet to guide you into different postures that are safe and supported.
Typically, we start a workout on your back and warm up, center with your breath, and build from there.
The Trapeze Table (aka The Cadillac)
The trapeze table is a level up from the reformer. It:
- challenges your core strength,
- builds body awareness, and
- builds core control.
One of the key differences between the reformer and the trapeze is the use of the springs for your legs and hands instead of the straps for added resistance and control of movement. There is also a tower bar to guide more flexibility and range of motion and much more.
The skills learned on the trapeze table build core strength, control, flexibility, and support joint alignment.
