Help Patients Rehab Faster and Safer

with the AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill


AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmills enable faster rehabilitation, safer conditioning for the geriatric population, and weight loss, which can help remove major obstacles associated with these activities. Impact on the body and the pain of recovery are reduced, which helps people achieve better results. Patients at Personal Physical Therapy can now rehab better, train smarter, and exercise safer with the AlterG.


With the AlterG, patients can run and walk without bearing their entire weight, reducing the impact on the body to optimize rehabilitation and physical therapy outcomes. Its Differential Air Pressure (DAP) technology applies a lifting force to the body that reduces weight on the lower extremities and allows precise unweighting – up to 80% of a person’s body weight, so people can find exactly where the pain stops and natural movement feels good again.


There have been numerous success stories from patients with a variety of diagnoses:

  • Total hip and knee replacements:
    • A young total hip replacement still presenting with a limp two years post surgery, can now walk outside of the treadmill with a good gait pattern
  • Patients with poor balance or fear of walking:
    • An older woman with a high fall risk who wouldn't take normal step lengths due to her fear of falling has improved her confidence and gait pattern after several weeks using the Alter G.
  • Low back pain patients with load intolerance:
    • A man with low back stenosis which limited his walking to less than 10 minutes can now walk for exercise for 30 minutes when unweighted to 80%.
  • Neurological patients (Parkinson's, MS, polio, and CVAs):
    • A young Parkinson's patient with poor gait is able to have a smooth, normal gait in the treadmill which carries over to out of the treadmill for half of the day.
