Alter-G Anti-Gravity Treadmill®
Alter-G Demo Video
The concept of using advanced differential air pressure (DAP) technology for weight support was originally conceived by Dr. Robert Whalen, while he was studying the biomechanics of exercise in space. Alter-G has developed this concept into a technology for use in training and rehabilitation and developed a user-friendly platform with ergonomics and adjustability that suit an extraordinarily wide range of users.
This innovative technology offers an option to continue cardiovascular workouts for patients recovering from fractures or surgeries that do not allow full-weight bearing exercise, for example certain types of spinal, hip, or knee surgeries.
So whether you’re seeking an effective way to enhance high-performance athletic training, or have rehabilitation needs, the Alter-G anti-gravity treadmill can help you achieve your goals.

How does it work?
The machine creates a powerful lifting force known as Air Pressure Differential that allows ultra-low impact training. Your body is surrounded by an airtight enclosure which becomes pressurized. You can adjust the amount of body weight on your legs and feet by controlling the amount of lifting force. The user-friendly control panel makes it easy to find your comfort zone, and you can reduce your body weight by up to 80%!
Top five reasons to try the
Anti-Gravity Treadmill®:
1. Exercise with full range of motion.
2. Work out with your natural gait and rhythm.
3. Minimize pain during rehabilitation.
4. Enhance your fitness level.
5. Maintain strength and build endurance.
Ask your doctor to consider making the Anti-Gravity Treadmill® an important part of your rehabilitation and regeneration process. Begin to work out as soon as possible after your surgery or injury. Start by reducing the weight on your lower body by up to 80%, then, gradually increase it until you achieve your target level of improvement.
