Redcord

Redcord is a ground-breaking whole body suspension system developed in Norway first for use in rehabilitation clinics (Neurac).  Since its inception, Redcord is now used both in Physical Therapy and in general fitness environments worldwide both for rehabilitation and to enhance fitness and strength and prevent injury.  

Redcord is based on performing specific exercises in unstable ropes and slings using your own bodyweight as resistance.  It is similar to the TRX system used in many gyms, but goes a step beyond in that there are four points of suspension, as well as the ability to unload body weight completely, hence creating an environment in which the body can find its own functional stability without risk of injury.  Your body is required to use multiple muscle groups in a functional manner via the unstable base of support, thus activating the body’s deep stabilizing muscles while increasing strength and control.

No matter your age or physical abilities, Redcord gives you a unique experience in strength training. The folks at Redcord call it Neuromuscular Repatterning, and it is a singular way of waking up  dormant muscles, charging your brain and balancing dysfunctional movement patterns.

Pilates on First is the only studio in Rome offering Redcord instruction.
