    • Recovering from an injury, or preventing one from happening, is on every athlete’s mind. The Alter-G Anti-Gravity Treadmill can assist you in regaining, maintaining and developing fitness during recovery.

    Our Approach

    Anti-gravity training and rehabilitation assists athletes by lessening the impact or loading on lower body extremity joints and muscles while shortening the healing process by overcoming weight bearing restrictions due to injury and overuse.  Alter-G can also be used to as an adjunct of your training program to get miles in with less impact.
