Pilates Reformer
The Pilates Reformer is the method of physical training and functional rehabilitation that was inspired, designed and systematized in the 1920s by the Greek-German Joseph Hubertus Pilates (1880-1967).
The program is performed on the Reformers that allow the safe execution of a huge range of exercises adapted to the level of each practitioner individually! The use of the springs they have, enables the gymnast to increase or decrease the degree of difficulty of each exercise easily and quickly, depending on the needs and particularities of each one.
The Pilates machines at Physio Restart Lagonisi completely transform the body, offering muscle strengthening and elasticity to the muscles which is very important to avoid joint injuries. Through the control of the center of the body, strong abdominal, thin and elastic muscles are created, which make the spine stable, getting rid of chronic problems of the waist and spine in general. They offer better posture and body movement by improving joint range of motion.
