Anti-Gravity Treadmill at MercyOne Genesis Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine

Train Through Injuries

The AlterG® Anti-Gravity Treadmill enables users to run or walk while reducing their body weight in 1 percent increments.

With its ability to provide up to 80 percent body support, the treadmill helps reduce stress and strain on the body. The treadmill’s technology uses an advanced air pressure system to create a lifting force to the body, so people can run or walk normally, with less pain and impact on their joints and muscles.

"The AlterG® is ideal for people who are recovering from injury or surgery or who want to achieve peak performance through an advanced training aid,” says physical therapist and clinic supervisor Kathryn Ellsworth, PT, DPT, OCS.

Controlling gravity while running or walking enables people to:

• Enjoy a faster recover from many surgical and non-surgical conditions
• Improve stamina and make it easier to complete daily activities
• Eliminate pain from chronic injuires while improving strength
• Train through injuries
• Have access to the same peak performance tools as world-class runners.
