"I got a 3D scan that measured my flexibility last August, hoping the predictably subpar results would finally inspire me to stretch more. Then, I did basically nothing. Even knowing my shoulder rotation movement was in the "red" zone - needing serious improvement if I wanted to avoid future pain - it wasn't enough to get me to devote three minutes of light stretching before my cardio and strength workouts as suggested by trainers I had spoken with."
"So when I got re-scanned nearly half a year later, I wasn't exactly expecting miraculous results. When Donovan Stewart, the Life Time trainer who conducted my first scan, said it'd be a good idea to do another one to see my biggest pain points, I dreaded the moment he summoned me over to review the results. "You've improved since last time," he said. "By 13 points.""
A 3D mobility scan measured flexibility and identified serious deficits in multiple movement areas, including shoulder rotation in the "red" zone. The individual made only minor routine changes but committed to two reformer Pilates classes per month to socialize with friends. After six months and intermittent practice, a follow-up scan showed a 13-point overall mobility improvement and movement scores improved across every tested area, eliminating any red-zone markers. Reformer Pilates provided full-body benefits focusing on hip mobility, core strength, shoulder engagement, and increased body awareness, prompting more frequent stretching and improved flexibility despite limited frequency.
