SPRINGS
The number of springs attached to the gearbar determines the
total amount of resistance. Reformers are equipped with either
one 50% and four 100%-tension springs OR one 25%, one 50%,
and three 100%-tension springs. (See page 20 for more details.)

HEADREST
The headrest adjusts to three positions: flat, half-raised or fully
raised. It should be adjusted on an individual basis to ensure neck
and shoulders are comfortable and tension-free when lying supine.
In exercises where the hips are lifted higher than the shoulders,
the headrest should be flat even when beginning from a supine
position. In some exercises it is raised to provide a brace for
the feet.
