AlterG® Anti-Gravity Treadmill®

The AlterG® Anti-Gravity Treadmill® is specifically designed to help with training and rehabilitation allowing you to:

• Reduce gravity's impact by reducing body weight by 0–80% in 1% increments.
• Rehabilitate lower extremity injuries with less pain and less impact.
• Improve mobility, strength and safety for those with neurological conditions.
• Provide a safe way to lose weight and exercise more intensively while unweighted.
• Train without pain and reduce the stress to joints and muscles.
• Recover effectively and with less pain after training or competition.

Who is the test for?

The AlterG®Anti-Gravity Treadmill® is frequently used by individuals with lower extremity injuries and also athletes aiming to train with less impact (eg, recovery runs).

What is involved?

You will be provided with an introduction to the AlterG® Anti-Gravity Treadmill® during your first visit and assistance during the session if required. However, it is anticipated that you will come prepared with your own training and/or rehabilitation plan which has been set by a suitable physiotherapist or coach. Solent University will not take responsibility if the rehabilitation session you carry out is not suitable for your current injury status.

• Running top and shorts

Shower facilities will be available for your comfort after the session.

How long is a session?
