Many students have seen this funky-looking Pilates Cadillac machine in the studio but never actually used it. Pilates folklore states that Joseph Pilates created the prototype Cadillac to enable bed-ridden patients to exercise. His design was simple - a hospital bed with mattress springs attached to the wall. The design has certainly evolved over the years and and so have the exercises and stretches both new and experienced students can do on the Cadillac.
You can stretch and pull on the muscles and bones with the spring loaded bars and straps that stretch the body from head to toe. It also helps to assist or make the existing mat exercises more challenging. You'll feel free and weightless! You can hang upside down Cirque de Soleil style! You can isolate almost every muscle group on the machine - it is an excellent tool for breaking down motion into small pieces to restore correct motion patterns. Using the leg springs is one of the best ways to get seasoned runners to fully use their hamstrings.
The best way to experience this machine is in a private Pilates session. Call Easton Pilates today to learn more.
