Cable machine and free weights

Progressive strength rehabilitation with cable machine and free weights

Cable machine and free weights

Overview

Cable machine and free weights provide versatile, functional strength training options that support rehabilitation across all stages of recovery. By enabling targeted muscle activation, functional movement retraining and progressive resistance exercise, they help rebuild strength, endurance, balance and coordination in a safe, controlled environment.

Who it can help

  • People recovering from stroke
  • People with spinal cord injury
  • People with acquired brain injury
  • People recovering from musculoskeletal injuries or surgeries
  • People with neurological movement disorders
  • People with a disability
  • Older adults improving strength, balance and falls prevention

How it works

The cable machine uses adjustable pulleys and resistance settings to provide smooth, multi-directional resistance. This allows users to perform a wide variety of functional exercises that mimic real-world movement patterns.

Free weights, including dumbbells, kettlebells and slam balls, complement cable training by promoting stability, coordination and muscle strength. Therapists design personalised programs based on individual rehabilitation goals, adjusting load, repetitions and movement complexity as strength and confidence improve.

The low-impact nature of exercises can be adapted for joint protection, while progressive overload principles ensure continued gains over time.
