What is suspension weight training?
The original suspension training unit was developed for use in the military in the 1990s and is now used by the general public in physical therapy clinics, fitness centers, and at home.
Suspension training is defined as having one or more straps connected to one or more anchor points. The individual uses the handles of the straps to suspend their hands or feet, while the non-suspended hands or feet are in contact with the ground.
Research has shown that performing exercises with the suspension trainer requires greater muscle activation, imparting strength, functional stability, and overall performance.
Bodyweight training is a safe and effective way to exercise, and suspension units take advantage of this simple concept to maximize results. We can use suspension training systems to train multiple muscle groups simultaneously and increase muscle activation and joint stability throughout the body.
How to use suspension weight training in rehabilitation
Our physical therapists at Forza Physiotherapy and Wellness in San Antonio, TX can help you in a variety of ways. We will start with a comprehensive evaluation to identify all the factors contributing to your situation. This will consist of a thorough history to understand your condition, goals, and overall health status.
We will use this information to develop a program that includes targeted manual techniques, mobility work, strengthening, and suspension training as deemed appropriate. Your physical therapist will then progress you to an independent home program and assist you in a safe return to fitness and exercise.
