Versaclimber

Kinetic activities performed on the Versaclimber has many benefits for the patient with soft tissue injuries. First, it is possible to assume a beneficial position for back protection while still getting good aerobic conditioning.  The exercise position is erect, which removes as much nerve root tension as possible. Exercise on the versaclimber is performed with minimal heel strike shock. The Versaclimber can be associated with lateral tilt of the pelvis.  For the Versaclimber, taking short steps should prevent a lot of pelvic tilting. The goal is to keep the pelvis and spine in a firm, neutral position with good isometric control during the aerobic conditioning.  Versaclimber machines can produce good leg strength and good hip extensor strength. Kinetic activities performed on the Versa Climber improve proprioception.
