TRX Suspension Training and Rip Trainers
The US military, professional athletes and weekend warriors use TRX products to stay in peak physical condition. In fact, Drew Brees counted on TRX Suspension Training to rehab after a potentially career ending shoulder injury in 2006. He came back to lead the New Orleans Saints to a Super Bowl victory a few years later.
TRX Suspension Training for Rehabilitation
Compact, portable, easy to set up, and effective for a wide variety of patients, it’s hard to find a piece of rehabilitation equipment that will provide as much value as a TRX Suspension Trainer.
Unlike many therapeutic exercises that benefit one part of the body, TRX engages the whole body, especially the core. As you’re rehabilitating musculoskeletal injuries or disabilities, you’re strengthening the whole body to prevent future problems. The TRX Suspension Trainer has been clinically proven to improve strength, endurance, flexibility, agility, balance, coordination, speed, power, and reaction time.
Appropriate for every phase in the treatment regimen, the TRX Suspension Training system can be used as a deweighting device for partial weight-bearing exercise or a safety device. Once a patient is ready to bear full weight, he or she benefits from exercising on multiple plains to restore overall function.

Suspension Training Modifications to Meet Every Patient’s Needs
TRX can be customized to meet needs of the very young, the very old, the seriously injured, and the physically fit. There are three easy ways to alter the intensity of an exercise routine.
Stability. The wider the base of support relative to the center of gravity the more stable and easier the exercise. For example, you can create stability by having patients take a wide stance during an exercise. For more challenge, have them do the exercise with their feet close together or on one foot.
Vector Resistance is the angle of the body relative to the ground, the wider the angle the easier the exercise, the narrower, the harder. Leaning back or forward at a sharp angle during an exercise forces the body to bear more load.
Pendulum Principle, your starting point relative to neutral (where the TRX straps hang naturally), the closer you are to neutral the less challenge. Move behind neutral to make the exercise easier and before neutral to make it more difficult.
