BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE

Physical rehabilitation is a practice which is well known in the art. Physical rehabilitation, also associated with medicine and sports medicine, often involves care, treatment, and/or exercises and/or motions which help a person and/or patient improve physical abilities and/or recover lost physical abilities that may improve daily life. Some of the physical abilities may be lost because of injury, trauma, disease, aging, or otherwise. Physical rehabilitation is a process, often a medical prognosis, of helping a patient and/or individual improve function and quality of life.


Physical rehabilitation may involve doctors, chiropractors, physical therapists, and various types of equipment. A number of rehabilitative and human performance professionals and various types of equipment exist in the state of the art. A large variety of equipment exists for increasing mobility, alignment, strength, and improving recovery and/or improving recovery times for individuals.


When utilized correctly, various equipment in the state of the art can be effective in assisting improvement of mobility and strength for an individual. Similarly, this equipment, along with proper guidance, can also be effective in assisting with muscle activation and release. In this way, there exists equipment which can assist with rehabilitation and performance of individuals.


However, the current state of the art requires many pieces of equipment. Oftentimes, rehabilitation involves a huge facility to accommodate the various types of equipment and space required for such equipment. This is how the industry has operated for a long time; the rehabilitative industry. Oftentimes various pieces of equipment are required for a single type of move or guided rehabilitation.


Complicating matters further, the bulk of some types of equipment often doesn't fit appropriately in a required space and/or fits awkwardly into a required space. Furthermore, some equipment and/or exercises are performed on an unstable surface and/or in a circumstance of high risk and/or in a circumstance where safety may be an issue. These types of problems have plagued clinics and performance facilities. This has become known as common practice and fitting as much equipment as possible into a space is industry standard.


Thus, there is a need in the art for a single, well-defined spatial system which provides rehabilitation. Furthermore, while the industry practice is to utilize more equipment, there is a need in the art for a system which provides mobility enhancement, alignment, strength, recovery tools and functions in a compact and easily accessible system. These and other needs, such as accessibility and safety are needed. This need would allow for smaller offices and/or spaces. Said another way, this system would allow for use in more spaces, such as homes, or the like. In this way, the various functionality of the disclosure herein, provides for a plurality of different functions and services as an all-in-one system, utilizing a minimal amount of space, while providing rehabilitative and performance professionals a more than adequate, functional workspace to utilize skills and provide rehabilitation and more in a safe environment.


Furthermore, the present disclosure provides for meeting musculoskeletal needs of various individuals of various shapes and sizes, while also providing a plurality of storage locations for accessories and equipment. Furthermore, the present system can be stored easily, saving space and/or providing additional space when not in use. Similarly, the present disclosure also provides portability so that the system may be easily moved from one location to another.


The disclosure herein provides these advantages and others, solves long-felt needs in the art, goes against the art practice of additional and numerous amounts of equipment, and provides other functionality, features, and advantages, as will become clear from the specification and claims provided.
