The VitaGlide™ is a revolutionary wheelchair accessible fitness machine that raises the bar for seated fitness programs. Using its patented linear, push-pull technology, the VitaGlide™ increases range of motion and involves more muscle groups, resulting in a more effective and efficient workout when compared to traditional seated systems.
Use of the VitaGlide helps to tone the upper body and rehabilitate the shoulders, all while providing a phenomenal cardiovascular workout. The VitaGlide is the result of extensive research into the causes of shoulder injuries and pain, especially amongst wheelchair users. Research has indicated that shoulder injuries occuring in wheelchairs are similar to rotator cuff injuries suffered by baseball pitchers, caused by imbalanced muscle stress placed on the shoulder joint. This imbalance results in what is clinically referred to as "Overuse Syndrome." The "push-pull" motion of the VitaGlide helps to work the back muscles in the shoulder, thereby balancing the overall shoulder musculature.
The home version of the VitaGlide allows you to experience the countless fitness and therapeutic benefits of the VitaGlide Pro from the comfort of your home! Compact in design, the VitaGlide is not much larger than a wheelchair, allowing it to conveniently fit in any home environment.
