A standing frame is a specialized piece of equipment in Physiotherapy rehabilitation to assist individuals with limited mobility in achieving an upright standing position. Your physiotherapist may suggest trying a standing frame during your session as way to explore weight bearing through your legs. The standing frame provides support for those with reduced leg strength and impaired trunk control or balance. It helps build overall muscle strength and endurance in the legs and postural muscles of the trunk and can be used to train sit-to-stand or stand-to-sit movements with increased stability from the standing frame. This equipment also offers a supportive standing position for exploring upper body activation.

The Pilates Reformer consists of a sliding carriage and adjustable spring tension, offering a versatile form of resistance training. It can be used to improve the strength and control of isolated muscle groups affected by injuries or surgeries, as well as promoting elongation and stretching of muscles and joints. It encourages proper alignment and posture while allowing for gentle, gravity-eliminated exercises for individuals who may be unable to perform such movements in an upright position. Pilates Reformer exercises within physiotherapy focus on smooth and controlled movements through the available range of motion, with the ultimate goal of regaining functional movement.
