C-Shaper

C-Shaper

The C-Shaper, also known as “Betty,” is a popular tool made for the first time in 1988 by Balanced Body, designed by Marie-Jose Blom and Quentin Josephy. It strengthens the abdominal muscles and corrects body posture, providing support in achieving the desired spinal alignment during exercise. Performing exercises on a mat with the C-Shaper does not require any additional training modification for each user, since it forces the desired position of the body and the spine during training.

The C-Shaper helps you to achieve a C-shaped alignment of your back and spine, while providing optimum support. Performing exercises on it provides an opportunity to learn the correct body posture and increases flexibility of the spine. It is perfect for training with people who are not used to the correct behaviour and maintaining the correct body position during Pilates exercises, such as, for example, rolling the spine vertebra by vertebra or tucking the pelvis.

Training on the C-Shaper is a great solution for people with back problems, especially in the cervical area, who want to develop correct posture by strengthening the deep and abdominal muscles responsible for body stability.

The C-shaper facilitates the work of a trainer and a physiotherapist with the client as it provides an easy possibility of supporting, correcting, and observing behaviour of the body. The spine of the user is stably supported by the backrest, which increases the sense of safety and makes it easier to concentrate on muscle work. The C-Shaper is mainly used during training with beginners or people with incorrect body posture or too little spinal flexibility.
