The Struggle is Real: Short Spine Massage on the Reformer | OPC

[@MariannaGiunchiArias-mo9uw]

Hi Lesley, would you add more springs for a heavier client to assist them to go up and over with their legs? I have a client that is very strong, heavy and he has trouble lifting his legs/hips all the up to close the carriage

Hey Marianna, has he done Airplane or Leg Springs in the air on the Cadillac/Tower yet? How is that going? Also, are your springs different color/weights or all the same weight? If he is ready for this exercise and you're using two heavy springs it should be enough. You could try 3 but I'd want to make sure they can control that setting because too much spring can pull on their back if they aren't able to control it.

Hi Pata, I haven't done a video on this Reformer specifically. But, in my "Pilates Practice Tips" I talk about the handles and footbar etc. We could set up an online session to go over any questions you have. And yes, it's really amazing on the spine! Thank you so much for watching and your questions! xx

Yeah, this is a real struggle. It's one of my ami-enemigo (a Spanish word combination of amigo-enemigo and it means friend-enemy 😉) exercises. 😅

I totally understand! And, I like the spanish phrase. I hope this helps you have more of an amigo relationship. xx~LL
