In the sports rehabilitation Department of Beijing Rehabilitation Hospital, the reporter saw several wooden Pilates devices neatly arranged, including oak spinal braces, maple stepping chairs and ash core beds, etc. Dr. Li, the director of the department, introduced that wooden equipment has become an important tool for rehabilitation training such as lumbar rehabilitation and postpartum recovery. Since 2025, the proportion of patients using wooden equipment for rehabilitation training has increased to 65%. The natural shock absorption performance and stable structure of wooden equipment can effectively reduce the risk of injury during rehabilitation training.

The oak spinal corrector designed for lumbar rehabilitation is the "star equipment" of the department. This device features an arc-shaped oak panel that conforms to the physiological curvature of the spine. The surface of the panel is covered with medical-grade anti-slip pads. When patients lie on it to perform "spinal rotation" training, it can precisely act on the erector spinel muscles while avoiding excessive stress on the lumbar vertebrae. Clinical data shows that patients who use this device for rehabilitation training have a 73% faster relief rate of low back pain than those who use traditional training methods, and the training injury rate related to the device has decreased by 58%.

The advantages of wooden equipment are also reflected in the precision of movement control. Doctor Li explained: "Rehabilitation training requires strict control over the range and intensity of movements. The texture of wooden equipment can help patients better perceive their body positions and avoid compensatory movements." " Take postpartum pelvic floor repair as an example. The accuracy rate of activating the pelvic floor muscles of postpartum women who use the Ximu Chen Ba Zi board for training is 35% higher than that of those who use metal boards, and the improvement effect on postpartum problems such as urinary incontinence is more obvious.

To meet the needs of rehabilitation, many wooden equipment manufacturers have also launched customized services. The maple wood stacker chairs used by Beijing Rehabilitation Hospital have adjusted the height of the pedals and the position of the armrests based on the physical data of Asians, making patients more comfortable during training. The connection parts of the equipment are reinforced with stainless steel bolts. Combined with the high strength of oak, it can meet the usage requirements of patients of different weights, with a maximum load capacity of up to 250kg.

Safety is the core requirement for rehabilitation equipment, and all these wooden devices have undergone multiple tests. In addition to the structural strength certification from SGS, its surface coating has also passed the medical-grade environmental protection test, with no pungent odor at all, thus avoiding secondary harm to sensitive groups. Many patients are sensitive to odors, and the natural properties of wooden instruments make them feel more at ease. Doctor Li said.

With the popularization of rehabilitation concepts, more and more medical institutions have begun to introduce wooden Pilates equipment. Industry insiders predict that in the next three years, the market size of wooden Pilates devices in the rehabilitation field will grow at an annual rate of 28%, becoming a new driving force for the development of the Pilates device industry.
