What Is It?
Lighten up! Whether you are a world-class athlete or a weekend warrior, rehabilitation following a lower extremity injury or surgery can be a slow, painful process. Now, the Alter-G Anti-Gravity Treadmill can get you back into the swing of things much faster and with significant pain reduction. The Alter-G is one of the safest and most effective ways to rehabilitate. It is a weightless workout that uses the latest technology combined with Physical Therapy.
Reddy-Care Physical Therapy is now the only physical therapy facility in Long Island and Queens to offer Alter-G’s innovative Anti-Gravity treadmill for athletic training and medical treatment programs.
Patients and therapists working with Alter-G’s anti-gravity equipment report:
- Faster return to normal range of motion
- Improved strength and flexibility
- Safer, more effective propioceptive retraining.
How does it work?
The Alter-G creates a powerful lifting Force known as Air Pressure Differential that allows ultra-low impact training. Your body is surrounded by an airtight enclosure which becomes pressurized. You can adjust the amount of body weight on your lower extremities by controlling the amount of lifting force. The user-friendly control panel makes it easy to find your comfort zone, and you can reduce your body weight up to 80%! That means a 200lb person can run on 40lbs of pressure only.
