Suspension trainer for training in physical therapy

Suspension trainers use the user’s own body weight and instability for three-dimensional strength and coordination for . In physical therapy, we primarily use them for rehabilitation following cruciate ligament tears, for back pain, and to improve core stability. The loops allow for both closed and open kinetic chains—depending on how they are suspended and the user’s body position.

TRX is considered the market leader with the best-known system, while Gymstick offers a cost-effective alternative. Both systems are compatible with door anchors and can be easily transported between the clinic and home visits. Thanks to its reinforced straps, the TRX Pro is particularly suitable for therapy sessions with heavier patients.

Important when performing the exercise: Always start in stable positions close to the suspension point. The further your center of gravity is from the suspension point, the more difficult the exercise becomes. Maintaining proper core tension is essential—otherwise, the exercise loses its proprioceptive effect.
