Defy Gravity at Phoenix Fitness Solutions
If you've suffered an injury or gone through surgery you know the recovery process can be long and challenging. Whether you're a professional athlete or a weekend warrior, a senior citizen or a young competitor, the AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill can help optimize your treatment outcomes to get you back faster to the activities you love.
Weight loss for Weight loss!
The AlterG is a fantastic tool for weight loss. The treadmill enables the user’s bodyweight to be lowered to as little as 20% (as if on the moon!). Enabling a lower training weight prevents all the usual lower extremity injuries from occurring (i.e. hip, knee, ankle and lower back). This means the user can follow exercise programs at varying intensity without the risk of impact related injuries holding them back.
Why People Love The AlterG:
Patented NASA technology allows for precise partial weight bearing
Rehab and train like never before
Professional Teams and Elite Medical Facilities are using the AlterG to revolutionize recovery programs
The science of healing and art of training combine here at AlterG to give you back your health faster. That way, you can spend more time living your life, instead of fixing your body.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Originally conceived by Dr. Robert Whalen to design effective exercise regimens for NASA's astronauts, Differential Air Pressure (DAP) technology has been adapted by AlterG for use in training and rehabilitation. Cleared by the FDA in 2008, the AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill is a medical device that can be used for:
Rehabilitation of lower extremity injuries
Treatment of neurological conditions
Weight Loss and Management
Aerobic conditioning
General training to combat the diseases of aging
Unweighting is achieved in the AlterG by using air in a pressure-controlled chamber to gently lift the user. Precise calibration using patented technology allows for very specific unweighting from 100-20% of the users body weight in 1% increments. Something no other unweighting modality can do.
Clinical studies show that these amazing treadmills can help decrease ground reaction forces in walking and running. The restoration of normal gait mechanics is paramount to optimal recovery and can be accelerated by this unweighting technology.
Why Unload?
Allow for the protection of healing tissue
Encourage range of motion
Earlier initiation of closed-kinetic chain activity.
Prevent disuse atrophy
Encourages more rapid return of motor control
HIGH PERFORMANCE BEGINS HERE
Enhance performance while minimizing the impact
Increase training volume and minimize stress-related injuries
Maximize fitness retention during rehabilitation
