AlterG Treadmill - defy gravity
This innovative treadmill can help with physical rehabilitation.
The AlterG Antigravity Treadmill was developed with NASA technology for lower extremity rehabilitation and effective athletic conditioning at partial weight bearing.
The device is used for precise partial weight bearing exercise ideal for:
- Post-surgical rehabilitation
- Lower-limb injury rehabilitation
- Reduced impact training - minimising stress related and recurring injuries
- Athletic conditioning and performance enhancement
- Strength and conditioning for older adults
- Weight control and reduction
How does it work?
The AlterG uses innovative Differential Air Pressure (DAP) technology to reduce the user’s body weight by as much as 80% in 1% increments. Speed and incline adjustments can also be just like a standard treadmill.
The AlterG gives the user the opportunity to rehab from surgery or train through injury with minimal/no pain. The technology reduces the impact of walking or running while the body goes through the normal healing process.
Usage
- During 1:1 Physiotherapy sessions
- AlterG clinic runs twice weekly. Clients are able to book in for 30 minute/60 minute slots and use the machine.
