Cadillac & Chair

Targeted strengthening and rehab through varied springs and levers.

The Cadillac (trapeze table) is a large frame with springs, straps, a push-through bar and hanging loops. The Chair is a compact piece worked with a pedal system, far more demanding than it looks.

What these two share is that they’re targeted: where the reformer works the whole body in a flow, the Cadillac and Chair make it easy to focus on a specific area. That’s why they’re used both in rehab and in advanced work.

Who it’s for

People who notice weakness or restriction in a specific area
Those who’ve reached a level on the reformer and want variety
People in a gradual strengthening phase after physiotherapy (with clearance)
Those wanting to focus on shoulders and upper back

Not a fixed template, it changes with your level and how you feel that day. The general flow:

01
Setting the target
Which area to focus on is decided at the start of the session.
02
Cadillac series
Spinal mobility with the push-through bar and springs, arm and leg work, and hanging work.
03
Chair series
Leg, hip and core work against the pedal resistance, standing, seated or side-lying.
04
Integration
Carrying the learned movement pattern into standing and everyday motion.

What it builds

Targeted, local strengthening
Shoulder girdle and upper-back stability
Gradual opening in restricted movement
Preparation for advanced work

Frequently asked

The Cadillac looks intimidating, is it hard?: Looks are deceiving. Because the spring resistance is adjustable, even the simplest movements can be done on it. It’s actually one of the most-used pieces in rehab.
Do we work the Chair on its own?: Usually not. Within a session it’s used alongside the reformer or mat, toward a specific goal.
