Alter-G Anti-gravity Treadmill Sydney

Anti-gravity Treadmills have been developed from technology used by NASA to help people defy gravity and move without pain. Patients, seniors and athletes alike can increase functional strength & endurance, reducing the effects of immobility after surgery, joint pain and injury.

Benefits of using the Alter-G Treadmill

Reduces your weight from 100% to as low as 20% of your body weight in precise 1% increments for low-impact, pain-free movement.

Supports normal gait mechanics and avoids development of compensatory strategies – unlike conventional body weight support alternatives such as hydrotherapy.

Real-time gait data and video monitoring help you use visual feedback to get better results faster.

Limit downtime by training through injuries and enabling a return to sport in better condition.

Enables earlier post-surgery training.

Increase training volume while minimizing stress-related injury.

Encourage range of motion, shown to improve outcomes
