The
Pulmonary Complications of Spinal Injury
- The UPPERTONE's frame is made of steel.
- Under normal use, the only part that needs replacement is the cable (every
year).
- We ship the UPPERTONE all over the world.
- We fully assemble & test the UPPERTONE before shipping.
- Electrostatic powder coating is used to provide an attractive durable
finish.
- We generally ship within a week of receiving your order.
- We accept all major credit cards
- International orders can be shipped by air or sea.
Because of a unique dual weight system, resistance can be independently set
for the left and right sides. This allows you to compensate for any differences
in strength between the two sides.
On the UPPERTONE resistance can be adjusted in increments as small as an
ounce. That's right, one ounce. That means you can gradually increase
your strength without the risk of over straining.
With the UPPERTONE you don't rely on others. You exercise as and when you
want to.
With the UPPERTONE you can maintain and improve upon the rehabilitation you
received in rehab.
