How does it help me?
Reformer pilates helps with realigning the body and the spine, stabilising pelvis, strengthening full body, supporting a strong core and improving balance.
The benefits of the reformers that we can intensify the exercises by adding resistance or lowering them in case of a more intense stability work.
The reformers also give adequate support to people who have chronic injuries or returning after injury and is often used in the process of rehabilitation.
