Pilates and props (Bands)

Elastic Exercise Bands

Exercise bands have been used in Physical Therapy treatment for many years to help rehabilitate patients and give people the opportunity to do home programs.  Adding resistance to an exercise can give the exercise greater challenge or assist in making the exercise easier by giving support and assistance in completing a movement.

The general rule when working with bands is never strain yourself.  There are various bands that come in different colours that denote different resistances.  When buying research the company's system to make sure the resistance is right for you.
