How To Adjust Your Reformer Footbar

How To Adjust Your Reformer Springs

 

Start by sitting on your reformer bed. Select whichever spring/springs you are wanting to use and attach each spring loop to the corresponding hook.

 

 

How To Get Onto Your Reformer Safely

 

Option 1: Sitting down on your reformer carriage, move your legs and body to face the footbar, with your feet resting on the platform. Move your body toward the footbar and slowly lower your shoulders to meet the shoulder rests and your head to meet the headrest.

 

Option 2: Sitting on the corner of the reformer carriage facing the headrest,  place your outside hand on the closest shoulder rest. As you lower your body to the carriage, thread your inner arm through and use this momentum to safely land your back on the reformer. Adjust your body so you feel comfortable and manoeuvre your shoulders up against the shoulder rests.
