How can I incorporate the Xvest weighted vest into rehab programs for post-operative athletes?
Once you progress through basic range of motion, and you started on your strengthening exercises, because of balance issues the Xvest is safer. It is a better alternative than putting weights in hand and work on exercises such as squats or lunges to help develop the hamstring, gluts, quads, and so forth. It’s a great way to add weight to the body one pound at a time and allows them not to worry about balance, their hands are free so they can use parallel bars to hold themselves up. They are able to focus on the actual movement and not about falling out of balance and re-injuring themselves.
