Strength Training Anywhere

When mobility is limited—whether due to surgery, chronic illness, neurological conditions, or extended bedrest—finding the right rehabilitation tools can be a challenge. The MOVAO Mini Portable Leg Press was designed to meet people where they are: in bed, in a chair, or even on the floor.

While many users first discover the MOVAO Mini as an in-bed leg press, it is equally powerful when used on the floor or a therapy mat. With built-in support straps and a pelvic stabilization strap, the MOVAO Mini creates a secure, low-profile setup that supports safe and effective lower-body strengthening.

If you're rebuilding strength after surgery, living with MS-related weakness, or working to prevent muscle loss while bed bound, the MOVAO Mini offers a flexible, evidence-based solution you can use almost anywhere.

Why Floor Training Is So Effective

Exercising on the floor gives many users the stability and comfort they need to train confidently. When combined with the MOVAO Mini, floor training offers:

✔ Pelvic Stability for Safer Leg Pressing

The included pelvic strap prevents sliding and keeps the pelvis anchored, allowing users to push evenly through the foot plate. This stabilization is especially helpful for:

• People with MS or neurological weakness

• Individuals rebuilding control after stroke or spinal conditions

• Anyone learning how to generate force without trunk compensation

✔ Support Straps for Total Body Positioning

The MOVAO Mini also includes support straps that secure the unit in place and help maintain ideal positioning on any floor surface. This is particularly beneficial for users who:

• Have difficulty maintaining alignment

• Are recovering from total knee replacement (TKR)

• Need a safer setup for progressive resistance training

✔ Low-Profile Design for Skin Protection

The MOVAO Mini was engineered for use with delicate or healing skin. The low height avoids pressure points behind the knee or under the heel—an essential feature for:

• Patients recovering from surgery

• Users with diabetic neuropathy

• Anyone at risk for skin breakdown or pressure sores

Perfect for TKR Recovery, MS Strengthening, and Bedbound Rehabilitation

Post-Total Knee Replacement Strengthening

Early quadricep activation is essential after total knee replacement. But standing exercises can be painful or unsafe in the early stages. Using the MOVAO Mini on the floor helps rebuild:

• Knee extension strength

• Quadriceps activation

• Sit-to-stand power

• Walking readiness

Strength Training for MS and Neurological Conditions

For people living with Multiple Sclerosis, floor training removes barriers like fatigue, balance challenges, and heat sensitivity. The MOVAO Mini allows users to perform controlled, progressive leg strengthening with as little as 5 lbs or up to 65 lbs of resistance.

Strength Preservation for Bed Bound Individuals

Being bed bound leads to rapid muscle atrophy. Using the MOVAO Mini on a nearby floor mat allows caregivers to transition a patient gently into exercise with the help of stabilization straps.

Progressive Resistance — Anywhere You Train

The MOVAO Mini provides up to 65 lbs of progressive resistance, a key component of rebuilding true muscle strength. Whether you’re exercising:

• In bed

• On the floor

• On a mat

• In a chair

…you can safely increase resistance as your strength improves—without needing large machines or complicated setups.

This makes the MOVAO Mini one of the most versatile, portable, and clinically effective rehab tools available for at-home strengthening.

Who Benefits Most From Floor-Based MOVAO Mini Training?

The floor setup is especially ideal for:

• Post-surgical patients (TKR, hip replacement, spine surgery)

• People living with MS

• Stroke survivors

• Neuromuscular weakness

• Older adults regaining leg strength

• Bedbound or deconditioned individuals

• Caregivers providing home therapy

If standing is not safe—or not yet possible—the MOVAO Mini offers an essential bridge from low-level strength to functional movement.

Movement Is Medicine — Wherever You Are

The MOVAO Mini was designed with one mission:
Give people a safe way to rebuild strength when standing isn’t possible.

Using the MOVAO Mini on the floor adds an extra level of stability, versatility, and comfort, making it easier than ever to begin strength training at your own pace.

Because recovery doesn’t start in a gym.
It starts where you are.
