The Kinesis Wall

The Kinesis wall is a cable-cross piece of equipment that allows patients to do an infinite range of natural exercises to challenge your strength, flexibility, coordination and balance. Kinesis workouts help to strengthen legs, stabilize hips, back muscles, chest and arms. Instead of the body following the machine such as in traditional weight training, Kinesis follows the body, allowing for free range of natural movement with no compromise to resistance. A number of elements can be combined to modify the difficulty level of movements and add diversity to each workout.

The benefits:

Improves coordination, strength, flexibility and cardiovascular function. Your body will respond to 3-dimensional, 360 degree conditioning, improving your athletic performance and everyday physical activity.

Improves neuromuscular control of muscles. This will improve joint range of motion over different movement planes, allowing more efficient motion. Moving efficiently reduces incidence of injury and gives you a greater sense of confidence. Improves power transfer through the body, which is great for golfers, tennis players and many other athletes.

Improves overall performance and total body awareness, whether you are a beginner or a professional athlete. Giving attention to your stability and balance as you move facilitates the connection between mind and body, thereby improving the quality of life.

Types of Kinesis wall exercises:

Scapular retractions
Lat pulldowns
Horizontal abduction
Shoulder strengthening (internal & external rotation)
Cross body
Deadlifts
Trunk rotations
