Alter-G Aquatic Therapy
- • An anti-gravity treadmill allows you to walk on land (we don’t live in water!).
- – Allows you to train the correct muscles while walking, because walking in water is not natural.
- • We cannot change your weight in water.
- – An anti-gravity treadmill allows us to gradually take off or add weight, which is more realistic and more likely to improve your condition.
- • After surgery, aquatic exercise requires you wait until your incisions completely heal; this wasted time causes more muscle atrophy and pain.
- – With an anti-gravity treadmill, you can start walking pain free right away!
- • Aquatic therapy sessions require significantly more time than traditional care.
- – Some patients have to quit because they cannot find the time to consistently participate. With an anti-gravity treadmill, you wear the same clothes you came in with. We supply the shorts so you can get started right away!
