Despite the fact that we all try to remain as active as possible as we age, the majority of activities such as walking, gardening or using a conventional gym, will only target select muscle groups, meaning other areas of the body can often weaken.

Core strength is often one of the main areas to weaken as we mature, as it is often the least used, which can impact heavily on everything from balance to bladder control.

The equipment incorporates Pilates techniques in a modern range of dual function equipment. The apparatus is not only comfortable to use but it also delivers astounding results.

Our modern Toning Tables gently uses, stimulates and strengthens all the major muscle groups in the body, including the core. It is a contolled and safe form of movement. It provides a multitude of benefits, from changing your body shape to improving general strength and flexibility, so users will reach that top cupboard shelf again or put their socks on, to improving bone density, circulation and muscle tone.

Toning Tables do not rely on muscle power. They are controlled by an electronic power system, so you can work passively or actively, depending on your ability.

Our eight pieces of equipment will help to exercise and stretch all the major muscles.

When used passively, the equipment provides relaxation for the user and also stimulates circulation, whilst re-training the muscles in functional movement patterns and preventing the muscles from atrophying.

By using the equipment actively, you can safely experience even faster improvements to muscle strength, mobility, balance and co-ordination. In addition, you can be assured of an all over body workout specifically designed to exercise all major muscle groups.

It all began back in the early 1930s when Bernard H Stauffer began to work on a technique that he called Induced Rhythmic Motion (IRM). IRM was proven to greatly improve muscle tone and circulation while also improving strength and agility. Today as our own understanding of the Human body develops and so must our approach to exercise.

Doctors and Physiotherapists have long recognised the benefits of repetitive rhythmic movement as a form of rehabilitation. We support this process, providing a safe exercise option, which is time and cost effective, and is able to greatly and speedily enhance the benefits gained from a rehabilitation or physiotherapy program.
