Power Tower Exercise Station
Allow for rehabilitation of and address weakness in different muscle groups of the;
- abdominal muscles,
- chest,
- shoulders,
- back, and arms
Sports Tissue Injuries
Post fracture rehabilitation
Post limb amputation rehabilitation
Improves function for activities if daily living
- utilizing body weight as resistance, builds real, functional strength
Patient weight management
- Because exercises performed on power tower are so hard, it helps to burn off calories leading to weight loss
Parallel Bars & Stair Case
- Facilitates training for standing, walking, and balancing
- Enhances posture by muscle activation and by building muscle strength
- Increases locomotor performance and reduces fall
- Helps in restoring confidence and independence for patients relearning to walk
Specific conditions that may use the support of parallel bars include:
- Stroke
- Multiple sclerosis
- Parkinson’s disease
- Lower extremity fracture
- Spinal cord injury
- After lower extremity amputation
- After knee or hip surgery
- Severe muscle weakness
Parallel Bars & Stair Case
- Improves heart, lungs, and circulatory system
- strengthens muscles and bones
Conditions

- Multiple sclerosis
- Parkinson’s disease
- Post Lower extremity fracture
- Generalized muscle weakness post long illness
Rehabilitation Wobble Board
- Improves balance, muscular coordination, and nerve coordination.
- Helps in rehabilitation and strength training
- Post ankle fracture
- Ankle strains
Hydraulic Twist Steppers With Training Ropes
- Rehabilitation for knee and ankle joints (post tendon, ligament repair or transfer)
- Joint mobility for hip, knee and ankle joints; post-surgery (total hip or knee replacement), post fracture
Elliptical Trainer
- Helps in improving balance, coordination, bone strength, and muscle endurance of both the upper and lower body.
- Increases general fitness by strengthening muscles,
- improving heart health
Sandbags/Weight Cuffs
Helps in strengthening and endurance training
Overhead Pulley
- Post shoulder injury

TheraBand & Hand Balls
Muscle strengthening with low impact and easy on the joints
Dumbells
Assists in gaining strength, increasing muscle mass, improving coordination, and correcting muscular imbalances. Increases muscle activation by improving muscular coordination.
Kinesiology Tape
Effects of taping:
- Neurosensory: improve afferent efferent communication to normalize tone of tissue, assist in restoring motor pathways and disrupt pain
- Structural: Block injurious ROM, improve adaptive postural behaviours, assist mechanical advantage of a joint, assist in stabilizing laxity/instability
- Microcirculatory: Promote movement of stagnant superficial fluid, edema, bruising, assist in removal of chemical irritants, improve oxygenation to injured tissue
Conditions
- Sports injuries: sprains and strains
- plantar fasciitis
- jumpers knee and Patello-femoral pain
- Lateral Patella tracking
- Inferior patella tendinopathy
- Patella Femoral Arthritis
- General Patella unloading
- Fascia corrections
- tennis and golfer’s elbow
- mid back pain
- neck pain
- carpal tunnel syndrome
