New Footbar Features for the Balanced Body®

Allegro® Stretch System

HORIZONTAL FOOTBAR ADJUSTMENTS

The Allegro is equipped with an adjustable footbar that can be
moved in order to accomodate users of different heights. To
move the footbar, pull the round black knobs on the bottom of
the footbar out and turn 90 degrees to lock out. Slide the footbar
forward or backward until it is lined up with the desired hole on
the track. Turn knob until the pin engages into a hole. Make sure
the pin is fully engaged.

Hole 1

is closest to the footbar end of the Reformer and

creates the longest distance between the shoulder rests
and the footbar. It is used for taller users (over 6’3” or where
decreased knee and hip flexion is desired.

Hole 2

is for users between 6’ and 6’3”

Hole 3

is for users between 5’9” and 6’

Hole 4

is for users between 5’5” and 5’9”

Hole 5

is for users between 4’10” and 5’5”

The heights given here are suggestions. The footbar adjustment
should allow the user to have slightly less than 90° of hip flexion
when the carriage is all the way in for leg and foot work.

VERTICAL FOOTBAR ADJUSTMENTS

To adjust the footbar vertically, squeeze both handles at the
bottom of the footbar until the pin disengages from the plate.
Move the footbar to the desired height and release the pin into
the hole.

Vertical Bar –

Move the pin into the highest hole and release

the handle. This position is the shortest space between
shoulder rests and footbar. This position is used for foot and
leg work with shorter users.

High Bar –

Move the pin into the 2nd hole from the top and

release the handle. The high bar position shortens the space
between the shoulder rests and the footbar. This position is
used for foot and leg work with shorter users, and with users
who have difficulty keeping their back placement due to
increased lumbar lordosis or a tight back.

Middle Bar –

Place the pin in the 3rd hole from the top on the

plate. The middle bar position lengthens the space between
the shoulder rests and the footbar. This decreases the flexion
of the knees in foot and leg work and places the torso in a
neutral standing position.

Low Bar –

Place the pin in the 4th hole from the top on the

plate. The low bar position increases the space between
the shoulder rests and the footbar to its maximum length.
This decreases the flexion of the knees in foot and leg work,
decreases the flexion of the torso and hips in elephant and
can be useful for taller or more flexible users.

No Bar –

Place the pin in the lowest hole on the plate. This

position is used to move the bar out of the way for standing
exercises and for exercises where the user is lying on the box.

Please refer to manual for all other Allegro features.

Easy to Use Plunger Lockout Knobs

Balanced Body’s Allegro

Reformer, and Clinical Reformer

and

Studio Reformer

with Infinity footbars come with plunger lockout

knobs that make adjusting and moving the Reformer footbar
along the frame much easier.

To use, pull the plunger knob straight out so that the recessed
cross-pin comes out of the slots as shown in Figure A. Then turn
the knob so that the cross-pin rests on the bolt head as shown in
Figure B. Repeat on other side.

With the knobs in the “locked out” position, reposition the footbar
along the frame of your Reformer as desired. Then turn the
knobs so that the cross-pin is once again recessed, firmly locking
the footbar into its new position.
