Recently a friend of mine ordered a Ruler for her Pilates studio, as she looks after a lot of older clients suffering from osteoporosis and other height loss afflictions.

I’ve heard people’s comments over the years about not needing one as their children are too tall, or flown the nest, or they have no grandchildren yet.
