Which parts of the body are exercised when using a spinal correction device?

This Pilates oak spine corrector is a classic Pilates apparatus that combines functionality and aesthetics.  It is primarily used to improve spinal flexibility, strengthen core muscles, and help the body restore its natural alignment. The apparatus's curved structure conforms to the spinal curve, guiding the spine through segmental movement during exercise. It is particularly beneficial for individuals who sit for long periods, have poor posture (such as rounded shoulders and a hunched back), or experience lower back tension.
In terms of muscle groups targeted, it focuses on the core muscles, including the rectus abdominis, transverse abdominis, and deep stabilizing muscles; it also activates the erector spinae muscles in the back, improving spinal support.  Through various exercises, it can also effectively train the shoulders, neck, glutes, hamstrings, and hip flexibility, helping the body develop overall coordination and control.
When using the apparatus, you can lie supine with your spine conforming to the curved surface, performing slow abdominal curls, stretches, and rolling movements while coordinating with your breath, feeling the spine extend and contract segment by segment. You can also lie prone or sit sideways on the apparatus to perform shoulder and back opening exercises, hip stretches, and lateral core training. During training, maintain smooth breathing, prioritizing controlled movements over range of motion, allowing the body to gradually build strength and flexibility in a safe and stable manner.

Overall, this spine corrector is suitable for beginners to improve basic posture and also meets the needs of advanced practitioners for deep core training. It is an indispensable classic apparatus in Pilates training.
