How the AlterG® Anti-Gravity Treadmill™ Can Help You

Staying active, recovering from injury, or meeting fitness goals can feel challenging, especially when your body needs extra support. That’s where the AlterG® Anti-Gravity Treadmill™ comes in. This innovative piece of equipment offers a way to exercise without the usual wear and tear on your body. Whether you’re recovering from surgery, aiming to improve athletic performance, or just looking for a joint-friendly workout, this treadmill has something unique to offer.

What Makes the AlterG® Anti-Gravity Treadmill™ Different?

The AlterG® uses advanced Differential Air Pressure (DAP) Technology to create an environment where you can reduce your body weight while exercising. Simply put, it lifts some of the pressure off your joints and muscles, so you can move with less pain and strain.

That built-in weight support isn’t just for athletes. It’s a game changer for anyone dealing with injuries, post-surgery recovery, or conditions like arthritis. The treadmill lets you adjust weight-bearing levels in small increments, which makes it highly customizable for your needs.

Here’s the real beauty of it—unlike standard treadmills that can be tough on your joints, the AlterG® allows for low-impact exercise without sacrificing results. Whether you’re walking, jogging, or running, you can tailor the experience while keeping your goals in focus.

Who Benefits From Using the AlterG®?

The AlterG® isn’t your typical treadmill; it’s designed with diverse needs in mind.

Recovering From an Injury or Surgery

Rehabilitation can be frustrating. Pain and fear of re-injury often make recovery slower than it has to be. Physical therapists trust the AlterG® because it allows their patients to get back to weight-bearing activities safely and gradually. You can remove up to 80% of your body weight, which means fewer worries about strain or setbacks while building strength and confidence.

Enhancing Athletic Performance

For athletes, staying in top shape means training smarter—not just harder. With the AlterG®, you can maximize training mileage while giving your body a break from constant impact. Whether fine-tuning your speed work or maintaining endurance during recovery periods, this treadmill supports your performance goals without adding unnecessary strain.

Supporting Senior Fitness

Exercise is vital for seniors to maintain balance, cardiovascular health, and mobility. But joint discomfort or fear of falling often gets in the way. The AlterG® creates a supportive, low-impact environment that allows older adults to build strength and stamina safely, step by step.

Long-Term Health Benefits

Preventing Injuries

Think of the AlterG® as part of your body’s maintenance routine—it minimizes joint stress, helping prevent common injuries from overuse or improper training. The weight reduction also reduces strain while still giving you an effective cardiovascular and muscle workout.

Improving Overall Fitness

You don’t need perfect knees or a healthy back to stay active. The AlterG® is designed to help people of all fitness levels achieve their goals. It allows longer exercise sessions without the usual fatigue or risks, so you can build endurance and maintain a healthy lifestyle comfortably.
