Take the weight off. Keep the movement.
The AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill is in our Cottonwood Heights clinic. You step into a chamber that seals around your waist, and air pressure lifts a controlled share of your body weight off your legs. The technology behind it, Differential Air Pressure, was developed at NASA.
That changes what is possible today instead of in six weeks. Walking hurts less, so you walk sooner. Running loads the joint less, so you run before full body weight would allow it. Your therapist takes the support away in precise increments as the tissue tolerates more, and integrated force plates and video let us watch your gait while you do it.
Supported now. Loaded later.
Evaluation First
Your first visit is about an hour with your Doctor of Physical Therapy. The AlterG is a tool inside your plan, not the plan itself, and we decide together whether it belongs in yours.
Set the Support
You step in and the chamber calibrates to you. We set body weight support at the level where you can move well and without pain, then watch your gait on the force plates and video while you walk or run.
Take the Support Away
Each visit we hand more of your body weight back to you as the tissue tolerates it, until you are moving at full load and the machine is not doing anything for you any more.
