Heal with Zero-Gravity Treadmill

The experienced physical therapists and technicians at Physical Therapy Group take excellent care of patients at their state-of-the-art clinics. Mohammad Alian, MS, PT, is now offering the AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill that can help patients recover faster through its unweighting technology. From top-level athletes recovering from an injury to geriatric patients with reduced mobility, the anti-gravity treadmill delivers a huge therapeutic benefit.

            It can reduce gravity’s impact by selecting any weight between 20 percent and 100 percent of body weight in 1 percent increments; rehabilitate lower extremity injuries with less pain and less impact; improve mobility, strength and safety for those with neurological conditions; provide a safe way to lose weight and exercise more intensively while unweighted; train without pain and reduce the stress on joints and muscles; and recover effectively and with less pain after training or competition.

            The treadmill uses a lifting effect to ease the impact on lower extremities that is ideal for physical therapy after sports injuries, knee and hip replacement or stroke. It is also used to incorporate weight-bearing exercise into fitness and weight-loss routines.
