Alter G Anti-Gravity Treadmill
FDA cleared and built on NASA technology, AlterG is changing the way people recover and athletes train. This unique technology allows you to run or walk at a fraction of your body weight, so you can dial in exactly where the pain stops and movement feels good again. Leading medical professionals are using AlterG to help their patients recover better and have a smooth return to activity. Top athletes and teams are using AlterG to recover and train smarter, reducing the frequency of training injuries by minimizing stress on their joints, while still building fitness.
Some of the Alter G benefits include:
•Strengthens and improves coordination of muscles, which in turn protects surrounding joints.
•Promotes the full range of motion while minimizing stress during athletic conditioning.
•Enables injured athletes to maximize their fitness retention as they recover.
The AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill® generates a powerful lifting force using Advanced Differential Air Pressure Technology (ADAPT). The athlete wears neoprene shorts and zips into a pressurized, airtight enclosure which calibrates to their exact body weight. With an easy to use control panel the athlete can change his/her weight, reducing it by as much as 80% in precise 1% increments.
Trainers and coaches have found the Alter-G to be an ground-breaking training tool that is changing how athletes train and injured people recover free of interference from water or tethers which transitions seamlessly back to full weight bearing during sports rehabilitation programs. Until now, there has not been an effective means for athletes to preserve high fitness levels while they are injured. The Alter-G permits injured athletes to reach the aerobic intensity of their regular workouts while lowering the impact on their injured body during training. .
“The AlterG is the most significant advance in training equipment for distance runners in the last half century.”

“AlterG has allowed us to advance our rehab and conditioning of our players. We have been able to have players that are recovering from injuries start to run at least a week and sometimes up to a month before they would have been able to normally. The AlterG is a great progression back to the field with minimal risk.”
