Alter-G Treadmill

This Anti-Gravity Treadmill helps you defy the laws of gravity so you can push the limits to recover sooner, improve physical function and enhance performance like never before.

The Alter-G uses NASA Differential Air Pressure technology to unweight the user from 100% to as low as 20% of their body weight using precise increments. Something no other unweighting modality can do.

By tailoring the amount of body weight during treadmill exercise, we can provide a unique opportunity for those in the world of sports performance.

It allows us to limit downtime as the athlete can continue to train through lower body injuries, allowing them to return to sport in better condition.
It provides a means to increase training intensity without the increased risk of stress-related injuries.
It enables earlier post-operative training.

However, it’s NOT just for athletes!

In those with neurological deficits, the Alter-G allows us to provide a safe way to work on motor control, standing and ambulation without the risk of falls.

In seniors, it provides a fall-safe way to increase cardiovascular activity with reduced gravitational forces and pain.

For those with chronic conditions (such as obesity), it helps reduce the pain barrier to exercise and allows exercise intensity to increase without increasing the chance of stress-related injury.
