The AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill allows you to walk or run with less impact on your joints and muscles by reducing your effective body weight. Whether you're recovering from injury, returning after surgery, or looking to maintain fitness while managing pain, the AlterG provides a safe and controlled way to keep moving.
What Is the AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill?
The AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill uses NASA-inspired differential air pressure technology to reduce the amount of body weight your legs support while walking or running. By unloading your body weight, it allows you to exercise comfortably with less stress on injured or sensitive tissues.
The amount of support can be adjusted throughout your session, making it possible to gradually increase loading as your strength, confidence, and recovery improve.
Who Can Benefit?
The AlterG is suitable for a wide range of rehabilitation and performance goals, including:
- Bone stress injuries and stress fractures.
- Lower back pain.
- Recovery following hip or knee replacement surgery.
- Osteoarthritis.
- Rehabilitation following foot, ankle, knee or hip injuries.
- Gait retraining for neurological conditions.
- Strength and conditioning in a safe, supported environment.
- Weight management programs.
- Maintaining fitness while recovering from injury.
Performance and Running Training
The AlterG isn't just for rehabilitation. It's also an effective training tool for runners and endurance athletes wanting to maintain fitness, increase training volume, or reduce the physical demands of high-mileage programs.
By reducing impact forces while preserving natural running mechanics, the AlterG can help you:
- Maintain cardiovascular fitness during injury recovery.
- Return to running sooner with greater confidence.
- Reduce the risk of compensatory movement patterns.
- Increase training volume with less stress on the body.
- Reduce the risk of re-injury during return-to-sport programs.
