What is a Pilates Springboard?
The Springboard consists of a board attached to the wall, together with springs from the Pilates Cadillac.
The board is usually 20 inches wide and 6 feet high and is equipped with springs of different lengths and stresses, along with handles, foot belts and a hoop that can be attached to springs. Along the sides, there are 10 pairs of eyebolts, in which the springs are fixed.

Essential unique features of Pilates Springboard vs. Pilates Reformer:
- Independent activation and specification of each limb, enabling correct and individual testing of the accurate load and function

This affects the spring force of the springs
The combination of additional work stability independently in each limb and stronger spring tension makes the Springboard Therapy much more precise when it comes to individualized exercises and activation and strengthening of the leg.
