Our Equipment
At Metaphysical Pilates, we provide a variety of top-quality equipment, including reformers, chairs, cadillacs, and ladder barrels to enhance your practice. Each piece is thoughtfully selected to support your journey toward physical strength, mental clarity, and spiritual balance.
Reformers
Reformers provide an efficient full-body workout, which supports the muscles in strengthening the feet, ankles, legs, hips, pelvis, torso, chest, shoulders, and arms while improving flexibility and bone structure alignment.
Chairs
The main function of the chair is to work with added resistance against your body. The more resistance against your body, the more endurance you will gain in strength and balance.
Cadillac/Tower
Cadillac or Tower is a stationary machine unlike the Reformer with its moving parts. It is ideal for those who are recovering from an injury. Similar to all the Pilates machines, the Cadillac is used to add resistance and increase the efficiency of exercises. Although, advanced exercises done on the Cadillac may look like a performance!
Ladder Barrel
The Ladder Barrel enables the spine to move through a deep range of motions that benefit the health of the spine's flexibility with extension, rotation, flexion, and lateral bending. The Ladder Barrel also assists in isolating deep muscle stabilizers while challenging the body in all planes of movement.
Percussion Gun
Some of the physical benefits of massage and using a percussion massage gun include:
- Reduced muscle tension
- Improved circulation
- Stimulation of the lymphatic system
- Decreases soreness after workouts
- Improved sports performance and muscle mass
- Improved rehabilitation from injuries
- Provides pain relief
- Stimulates the nervous system
- Facilitates lactic acid release
- Increased mobility, flexibility, and pliability
- Injury prevention
Experience the incredible benefits of massage gun therapy in reducing delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS). A 2014 Journal of Clinical & Diagnostic Research study showed vibration therapy effectively prevents and manages DOMS. There is also evidence that vibration therapy improves muscular endurance and increases power, which may reduce DOMS overall by improving muscular adaptations over time.
