Introducing Our AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill

Allowing athletes to run or walk with reduced impact, the AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill at Sierra Pacific Orthopedics can be a highly successful tool in sports medicine injury rehabilitation. By providing up to 80% body weight support, the treadmill allows athletes to walk and run with reduced stress and strain on their bodies and no pain or discomfort.

“The benefits of this treadmill are immense,” says Dr. Eric C. Hanson, sports medicine physician at Sierra Pacific Orthopedics. “Athletes are able to train while recovering from their injuries, which prevents muscle loss often sustained during a lengthy rehabilitation period and allows them to return to play quicker.”

By allowing athletes to gradually progress to higher impact running, the AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill helps athletes adjust the impact on their joints throughout the course of their rehabilitation. It also provides a safe environment for correcting and improving running technique before returning an athlete to his or her sport.
