Let's Talk About Springs
Reformer Springs for a Classical Experience
“It was so much fun to work with Balanced Body on the Contrology Reformer…. to be able to really look at how (it) works, how we use it as practitioners, what needs to happen, and what was missing. I’m just very happy that we finally have it.”
