An essential Pilates tool, the Contour Step Barrel is Balanced Body's version of a spine corrector. It has an elongated curve that adapts to users of all shapes and sizes and a rounded step that provides gentle support during movement. The high-quality, padded foam padding provides additional comfort. Integrated handholds and cut-out recessed grips provide support during exercises, extend the range of exercises and make transportation and storage easier. The Contour Step Barrel is used for exercises that stretch and strengthen the torso, shoulders, back and legs while correcting or restoring the natural curvature of the spine. The spinal corrector is an ideal device for aligning and mobilizing the spine and can also help to improve posture.
