CoreAlign®
The CoreAlign® functional training tool challenges the body unlike any other exercise and rehab method. It’s design has two carts that move independently of one another on separate tracks. Resistance on the tracks can be varied from heavy to light on front and or back anchors. Many exercises are performed in a standing position, but the CoreAlign® exercise postures can be adapted to many sport and task-specific motions. Training exercises on the CoreAlign® combine movement and stability to prepare the body for real life challenges from gardening to mountaineering.
Who Benefits?
People rehabilitating from back and neck pain, joint problems, and sports injuries are ideally suited for treatment with CoreAlign. Aging adults, people with osteoporosis, and others with pain conditions also benefit because of the low impact nature of the exercises. High level athletes including racquet enthusiasts, runners, and golfers will find the method challenging and varied, while also enabling them to establish a powerful core for improved sport performance.
