  • Step onto the Reformer safely. Stand beside the Reformer and place one foot onto the stable platform (non-moving section).
  • Bring your other foot onto the same stable platform so both feet are secure.
  • Once steady, turn to side face the foot bar.
  • Place the outside foot (furthest from the foot bar) onto the moving carriage, toes pointing forward.
  • Bend both knees slightly into a mini squat, hips back, chest lifted, and core engaged.
  • Inhale to prepare. As you exhale, press the carriage away by straightening the moving leg while keeping the supporting leg bent and stable.
  • Inhale to control the carriage back in, using the inner thigh and hip muscles to resist the springs.
  • Keep weight primarily on the supporting leg, using the moving leg for controlled push and return.
  • Maintain upright posture and even hip alignment throughout.
  • Complete repetitions as prescribed by your physiotherapist.
