What Is the Anti-Gravity Treadmill?

Originally designed for NASA astronauts, Differential Air Pressure technology has been adapted for use in training and rehabilitation in the Alter G Anti-Gravity Treadmill.

The treadmill uses air in a pressure-controlled chamber to gently lift you as you walk or run, decreasing the impact on your body. The Alter-G can “unweight” your body in precise 1 percent increments, something no other technology can do. This protects healing tissues, encourages your range of motion, prevents atrophy due to disuse, and encourages a more rapid return of your motor control.

Common uses

At CoxHealth, Alter-G technology is often used for:

Use with caution if you have:

Exercise-induced asthma or angina

Unstable fractures or joints
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
Cardiovascular hypotension

As with any exercise program, consult with a physician before you begin.
