Cadillac Table for Rehab
A Cadillac Table for Rehab: What to Look For Before You Buy
If you're choosing a Cadillac (trapeze) table for rehab-focused Pilates, in a clinic or at home, we can help you work out what suits your space and how you'll use it. We're Australian owned and operated, with a Sydney showroom and local support behind every order.
What makes a Cadillac table suited to rehabilitation?
A raised, supported platform for guided work
A Cadillac table is a standalone apparatus with a raised padded bed and a full overhead frame. Springs, bars and straps attach at multiple points, so a practitioner can set up positions that a reformer alone can't offer. That is why you'll find it in physiotherapy clinics as often as in Pilates studios.
Rehab uses include spinal decompression, hip work, shoulder mobilisation and assisted movement for clients with limited range of motion. Any use after injury needs medical clearance first.
Springs that work differently from a reformer
A reformer's springs pull horizontally along a moving carriage. On a Cadillac, springs run vertically and at angles from the frame, so resistance and assistance can come from above or from the side. That matters in rehab, where a practitioner often needs to support a limb rather than load it.
Start with how the table will actually be used. Spring set-up and attachment points matter more than a long feature list.

Lighter arm springs suit upper body and standing work. Heavier leg springs are used for lower body exercises and assisted stretching.
Why build quality matters
Overhead rigging and loaded springs put real demands on a frame, so look for solid metal construction and secure attachment points. Our Pioneer Cadillac has a stainless steel trapeze tower with 16 carabine attachment points, which gives practitioners plenty of set-up options.

Cadillac tables we stock for clinics and studios
We stock three Cadillac tables, each suited to clinic, studio or home use. Whichever you choose, exercise selection and form should be guided by a qualified instructor or practitioner.
- Pioneer Pilates Cadillac Table: a stainless steel full trapeze tower with 16 carabine attachment points, giving a wide range of movement options for guided, personalised sessions.
- Pilates Cadillac Table: brushed stainless steel with cast steel joints, plus a satin matte finish that resists moisture and scratches.
- Motion Pilates Cadillac Table: a Canadian Maplewood finish with black upholstery, supplied as a package with the trapeze frame and trapeze attachments included.
Check your space, and consider how a Cadillac fits with a reformer
Allow roughly 240cm x 80cm of floor space and 220cm or more of overhead clearance. The frame reaches about 200 to 210cm, so measure your ceiling before you buy. We can help you check the room and match the Cadillac to how you plan to use it.
A Cadillac is designed to complement reformer training, not replace it, and many clinics and studios pair the two. For clinics, our clinical reformers package includes complementary apparatus built to clinical standards. For a home or studio with a standard ceiling, a half trapeze pilates bed is often the more practical fit. Proper form and qualified instruction matter on any apparatus.
Common questions about Cadillac tables for rehab
Cadillac table or full trapeze reformer for a clinic?
Neither is better outright. A Cadillac table is a standalone unit with its own padded bed, so it suits clinics that already own reformers and want dedicated apparatus sessions. A full trapeze reformer builds the overhead frame onto the carriage. Proper form and qualified instruction matter on both.
Does a Cadillac table suit home use?
It can, if you have the space: roughly 240cm x 80cm of floor and at least 220cm of ceiling clearance. With standard ceilings, a half trapeze reformer is often more practical. Anyone returning from injury should get clearance from a doctor or physiotherapist first.
Where are Cadillac tables usually used?
Mostly in professional Pilates studios, physiotherapy clinics and teacher training facilities. You can browse our Cadillac tables or try one at our Sydney showroom.
