AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill
Being active and participating in recreational activities is one of the best things you can do for your mind and body. Unfortunately, no matter how careful you are or how much you stretch, injuries can happen. You may sprain an ankle going for a tennis ball or develop runners knee while training for a marathon. These injuries can be nagging, and taking time away from the activity you love may seem like the only way to truly get better. Cue cinematic music… until now!
At TruMotion Therapy you can recover faster without losing fitness by using the AlterG Anti-Gravity treadmill. By reducing impact forces the AlterG allows you to run normally without over-stressing your body. The pressurized chamber that surrounds your lower body gently unweights you by as much as 80% of your body weight.
Even with an injury running, hopping, shuffling, and simply walking can be done comfortably allowing you to return to your sport sooner than ever.
