Alter-G Anti-Gravity Treadmill

Recover Faster. Move with Confidence. Return to Activity Sooner.

The AlterG® Anti-Gravity Treadmill is an advanced rehabilitation and training tool that allows you to walk, jog, and run with reduced body weight and less stress on your joints. By creating a controlled, low-impact environment, the AlterG® can help you recover from injury, regain mobility, and safely return to the activities you enjoy.

Whether you're recovering from surgery, managing joint pain, or working toward your fitness goals, the AlterG® can help you move comfortably while progressing safely and effectively.

How Does It Work?

During your session, you'll wear specialized shorts that zip into the treadmill's chamber. The treadmill then uses air pressure to gently lift your body, reducing the percentage of weight placed on your joints and muscles.

Your Doctor of Physical Therapy can precisely adjust the amount of support throughout your session, allowing for a customized experience that progresses as your strength and function improve.

Benefits include:
● Reduced joint loading
● Less pain during exercise
● Improved walking/running mechanics
● Earlier return to movement
● Controlled progression of activity

Who Can Benefit from the AlterG®?

The AlterG® Anti-Gravity Treadmill if beneficial across populations, including individuals:

● Recovering from hip/knee/ankle surgery
● Returning to activity after stress fracture
● Managing joint pain

● Training for running competition
● Maintaining mileage during injury recovery

What to Expect During an AlterG® Session

A Doctor of Physical Therapy or rehab specialist will introduce you to the treadmill and explain how it works. They will then fit you into the AlterG® system and help you select the appropriate body-weight support level. You will then begin walking or running at your desired pace and be able to adjust speed, incline, and support as needed.
