The innovative Alter-G Anti-Gravity treadmill is a game changer in physical therapy. Whether you're a patient with a lower-body injury, chronic pain or neurological conditions that inhibit mobility, you can benefit from the unweighting capabilities. The Alter-G uses NASA technology to reduce stress on joints and injured areas of your lower body, taking you further, faster than you ever thought possible after surgery, injury or other mobility impairment.
The Alter-G helps us get post-op patients walking and functioning sooner, helps MS and Parkinson's patients exercise easier and speeds up the rehabilitation process for athletes recovering from injury. The New York Jets, New England Patriots and Washington Redskins, as well as The Hospital for Special Surgery also use the Alter-G to better the recovery of their patients.
