PHYSICAL THERAPIST EXERCISE CAGE
 
 WE WERE COMMISIONED BY A PHYSICAL THERAPIST IN NEW HAMPSHIRE TO CUSTOM BUILD THIS EXERCISE CAGE THAT WAS DESIGNED AND USED IN POLAND.
HERE ARE A FEW PICTURES OF THE INITIAL CAGE BUILT TO THERAPISTS SPECIFICATIONS. THE PHYSICAL THERAPIST WE BUILT THIS FOR WAS TRAINED IN POLAND BUT RECEIVED HIS DOCTORATE HERE IN THE US. THE EQUIPMENT NEEDED WOULD HAVE TO BE PURCHASED THROUGH OUR CONTACT BUT IS SO WORTH IT. 
 
 CAGE IS CONSTRUCTED OUT OF STEEL SQUARE TUBING AND WIRE MESH PANELS AS REQUESTED  SIZE: 6'.6"X 6'.6"
 THIS CAGE WAS BUILT TO ASSIST A PATIENT TO EXERCISE WITH THE USE OF ROPES, PULLEYS, AND WEIGHTS ONLY UNDER PHYSICAL THERAPIST'S SUPERVISION ONLY. IT ALLOWS A A PATIENT A WAY TO EXERCISE BY ISOLATING MUSCLE GROUPS THAT THROUGH OTHER MEANS CAN NOT BE ACHIEVED, AS IN SPINAL INJURY OR ILLNESS PATIENTS.
BELOW ARE A FEW PICTURES TO SHOW THE COMPLETE SET UP AS IT IS BEING USED NOW IN PT'S OFFICE.
I WAS ABLE TO SEE HOW THIS WORKS WHILE A PATIENT WHO HAS LIMITED USE OF THEIR LEGS WAS ABLE TO EXCERISE UTILIZING THE HIP FLEXOR MUSCLES WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF THE PHYSICAL THERAPIST. THIS IS A SPECIALIZED ITEM FOR THERAPISTS ONLY.
 
 
 
 
"I PERSONALLY HAVE HAD A PHYSICAL THERAPIST WHO WAS EUROPEAN TRAINED AND KNOW THE DIFFERENCE. THEY ARE MUCH MORE HANDS ON WHILE WORKING WITH PATIENTS. IT IS A TRULY GREAT WAY TO HEAL."
 PRICING DEPENDS ON THE COST OF MATERIALS AT THE TIME DUE TO CONSTANT PRICE CHANGES IN STEEL. THE OTHER COST WOULD BE SHIPPING IF THAT APPLIES.
