Have you ever imagined what it would be like to walk on the moon? While it may always be a dream, the AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill brings you one step closer to experiencing weightless movement. This revolutionary piece of equipment is a game-changer for athletes, runners, and physical therapy patients alike. Whether you’re on the road to recovery or looking to enhance your performance, the AlterG treadmill might be the unique treatment option you’re looking for. 

What is the AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill? 

The AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill is a specialized treadmill that allows users to exercise without the full impact of their body weight. Based on NASA technology, it creates a controlled environment where you can adjust weight-bearing forces while you walk or run. For athletes recovering from injury or individuals undergoing physical rehabilitation, this means a reduction in stress on the joints and muscles during exercise. 

Low-impact physical rehabilitation 

Unlike traditional treadmills, the AlterG uses air pressure to provide lift, effectively reducing the user’s body weight by up to 80%. This weightless sensation allows for a more comfortable workout, especially for those struggling with mobility issues or recovering from surgery. The treadmill’s design incorporates a secure enclosure that supports balance and stability, further enhancing the user’s confidence during use. 

Risk-reduced performance enhancement 

For runners looking to improve their form and endurance, the AlterG offers the chance to push their limits without risking injury. By minimizing impact and joint stress, users can focus on technique and performance. The treadmill also includes real-time data tracking, allowing users and trainers to monitor progress and adjust workouts accordingly. It’s not just a treadmill—it’s a comprehensive tool for achieving fitness goals safely. 

Conditions we treat with AlterG Treadmill 

The AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill is incredibly versatile, making it suitable for treating a variety of conditions, including: 

  • Sports injuries and recovery 
  • Post-operative rehabilitation 
  • Neurological and gait disorders 
  • Arthritis and joint pain 
  • Balance and mobility impairments 

This technology is not limited to injury recovery; it also serves those needing a gentle reintroduction to physical activity. The ability to customize the level of weight support makes it an ideal choice for patients with varying needs. Whether recovering from surgery or managing chronic conditions, the AlterG provides a safe and effective way to maintain and improve physical health. 

Athletes recovering from injuries can also benefit from the reduced-impact environment, allowing them to maintain cardiovascular fitness while protecting healing tissues. Similarly, people with chronic pain or mobility issues can enjoy the benefits of exercise with less strain, promoting overall wellness and a higher quality of life. 

What to expect from your treatment with Anti-Gravity Treadmill 

Your first appointment using the AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill will begin with a comprehensive evaluation by a trained specialist. This ensures that your exercise program is tailored to your specific needs and goals. You’ll be fitted into a special pair of AlterG shorts, which zip into the treadmill’s chamber, creating an airtight seal around your lower body. 

Once securely in place, your AlterG specialist will calibrate the system to your weight by adjusting the air pressure to achieve the desired level of weight reduction. During your session, you will receive ongoing feedback and guidance to ensure you are comfortable and maximizing the benefits of the workout. The session can be adjusted in real-time based on your feedback and progress. 

For optimal results, regular sessions are recommended, allowing you to progress at your own pace while receiving professional support and encouragement.
