They Are Ideal for Rehabilitation

Functional machines are great for those who need to perform rehabilitation exercises. The machines were developed to mimic exercises prescribed by therapists to allow patients to develop strength in muscles post-operations or injury. Depending on what you need they can provide a gentle form of resistance and are ideal to use for progression as you incrementally increase weights.
