Pilates equipment
shelly
I do use Pilates equipment and have a reformer at home AND I am fused T-4 to sacrum.
The difference here is that I work individually with a certified Pilates instructor who worked with me before my revision 4 1/2 years ago.
She has modified many exercises around my limitations(of coarse I cannot "roll like a ball") and I have greatly benefitted from it. We do a lot of hip strengthening, shoulder work as well as strengthening my abdomen isometrically. Under no circumstances would I do this at a gym or try tapes.
I would not recommend using pilates apparatus for anyone who has had a spinal fusion. I tried it and it was scary.
