Developed by physical therapists Bob & Brad, the FitGlide is an easy-to-use tool for exercise and rehabilitation of the lower extremities.
Designed to help people recovering from injury or surgery including knee replacement, ACL or PCL surgeries, hip replacement, fracture, or stroke, the FitGlide is also ideal for exercising at home without risk of falling or injury, specifically for those with arthritis or poor balance.
