Equip Products Recovery Tools
For many individuals, injury rehab doesn’t end at the clinic. Home-based rehabilitation allows individuals to continue building strength, flexibility, and confidence on their own schedule, which can lead to better outcomes and faster recovery. Equip Products’ range of adaptive fitness tools makes it easier to perform safe, guided exercises at home, with equipment that promotes low-impact movement and gradual strengthening.
1. Multi Ropes™ for Core Stability and Upper Body Conditioning
Recommended Product: Equip Multi Ropes™
Multi Ropes™ are a versatile, low-impact tool ideal for rehabilitation, especially for those who have undergone lower extremity medical procedures and want to maintain upper body conditioning safely. Unlike traditional jump ropes, Multi Ropes™ allow users to simulate jump rope movements from a seated position, making them an excellent choice for those who need to avoid weight-bearing on the legs.
Using Multi Ropes™ from a seated position engages the core and upper body, helping to build core stability, balance, grip strength, and overall upper body endurance. This gentle but effective exercise is ideal for maintaining movement and strength during recovery while minimizing risk to healing joints and ligaments.
Exercise Example:
Seated Multi Ropes™ Movements
- Sit on a stable chair or surface and hold a Multi Rope™ handle in each hand.
- Move your arms in a controlled, circular motion, as though you were swinging a jump rope.
- Focus on maintaining a stable core and engaging the shoulders and forearms.
- Continue the movement for 1–2 minutes, resting between sets. Repeat for 2–3 sets.
This exercise provides a great cardiovascular and upper body workout without straining the lower body, making it perfect for individuals in the early stages of recovery.
2. CarryCross Sandbags for Controlled Weight-Bearing Exercises
Recommended Product: Equip CarryCross Sandbags
Weight-bearing exercises are crucial for recovery, especially for those building strength after an injury. Equip’s CarryCross Sandbags allow individuals to incorporate gradual weight resistance in a safe, controlled way, which helps improve functional strength. The sandbags are soft and ergonomic, making them less intimidating than traditional weights, and they can be adjusted to different weights, making them ideal for progressive rehabilitation.
Exercise Example:
Shoulder Press
- Start with a lightweight CarryCross Sandbag that you can lift comfortably.
- Hold the sandbag at chest height and slowly press it overhead.
- Lower it back down to the starting position in a controlled manner.
- Repeat for 2–3 sets of 8–10 repetitions.
This exercise strengthens the shoulders and upper back while promoting controlled movement, which is important during the recovery phase to avoid re-injury.
3. Stationary Bike Handles for Upper Body Cardio and Mobility
Recommended Equipment: Stationary Bike Handles (e.g., Rogue Echo Bike or Assault Bike)
For individuals who need to avoid lower-body impact, stationary bike handles on equipment like the Rogue Echo Bike or Assault Bike offer an effective way to incorporate cardio and upper body mobility into their rehab routines. Using stationary bike handles allows users to pedal with their arms, providing a low-impact, upper body cardiovascular workout. This is especially beneficial for those recovering from lower body injuries or surgeries who want to stay active without putting strain on their legs.
Exercise Example:
Upper Body Cycling with Stationary Bike Handles
- Place a seat in front of the bike where your arms can comfortably reach the handles.
- Grasp the stationary bike handles and start pedaling with your arms, using smooth, controlled movements.
- Begin with 5–10 minutes of upper body cycling, gradually increasing the duration as your strength improves.
- Perform this exercise 2–3 times per week, as recommended by a therapist.
This exercise helps build cardiovascular endurance, arm strength, and upper body coordination without engaging the legs, making it perfect for those recovering from knee, ankle, or hip injuries.
