Our power assisted machines are a 30 min cycle to complete. Unlike conventional exercise which relies solely on your own muscle power, assisted exercise allows you to work passively or actively depending on your strength. This means when muscles are weak due to illness or surgery you can still exercise and go through large groups of muscle movements.

Rehabilitation using our machines for Pre & Post operation after a knee or hip replacement can help as there is no stress going through the joint durning exercise, but the muscles are working again, and building strength back. A study conducted by the Sheffield University concluded that power assisted exercise equipment is an accessible and acceptable option for people with moderate to severe neurological impairments. They are great for getting the brain and muscles talking to each again after a stroke. Using power assisted machines helps you to use and tone your core throughout the 30 minute cycle at Health Shack.
