At Iselborn Health and Wellness we utilize the Via AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill. This specific treadmill uses a precise air calibration system to allow for a decrease in gravitational load and body weight. This allows for athletes to walk, run and train with a normal gait all while regaining strength, range of motion, balance, endurance, etc..
What to expect:
One of the athletic trainers will walk you through the process of the AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill and how to use it. They will fit you in a pair of shorts that allow you to zip into the AlterG to allow for proper body weight calibration. You will stay zipped in the entire time. They will make sure the AlterG is fit properly to you so you are comfortable. They will show you how to get out when you are finished. The athletic trainers are available for assistance and any questions you may have, they will check on you regularly during your time on the AlterG.
Benefits:
The AlterG Anti-Gravity treadmill allows for an athlete to train at a reduced body weight so they are maintaining strength, mobility, range of motion, etc. while lowering the risk of injury. The AlterG decreases the stress and pounding on the musculoskeletal system of their body. The AlterG is also great for post-injury and post-operative rehabilitation. It helps to increase strength, balance, mobility, range of motion, etc.. The AlterG is also great for general recovery.
