The Physiotherapy Lounge

Toning tables are a stress free form of exercise in which participants perform multiple exercises designed to re-engineer the body's posture, thus relieving stress on joints and muscles, Relax over-used muscles and stimulate under-used muscles by equally exercising deeply positioned postural control muscles. whilst toning the outer muscles, tightening the stomach and shoulder muscles to re-align the rib cage, pelvis and shoulders, giving the body improved form and shape

In developing toning tables... physiology, anatomy and movement patterns of the body have been studied to develop what is termed 'Induced Rhythmic Motion' (IRM) exercises... a low stress form of exercise that can be performed by those who find normal exercise, or even walking difficult.

Regular use can stimulate increased blood and lymph circulation. it is believed that improved lymphatic circulation can help to carry toxins away from the cells and into the lymph nodes. The lymph nodes filter out these toxins, and then allow them to leave the body via the kidneys.

Exercise and mobility

Toning Tables instigate recurring movement which drives different parts of the body making the muscles contract and causing the joints to work.
