A New Toy!

We got a new toy for Kohlton!  It is called a ReadyStalls Frame which allows the unique benefit of standing while simultaneously participating in a variety of upper and lower extremity exercises.  It benefits all of the following:
  • Physical balance and psychological well-being
  • Digestion
  • Reduction of flatulence and improved bowel function
  • Better circulation of the blood
  • Reduced wasting of the muscles
  • Improved muscle tone
  • Reduced loss of calcium from the bones and lower risk of osteoporosis
  • Improved vesicular and renal function
  • Prevention and healing of pressure sores
We are very excited about the equipment.  Garrett Williamson, the designer and who is also a paraplegic, brought and set up the stand personally.  It was awesome to see how much someone can overcome their handicap and create something that is so life changing!
