The AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill represents a breakthrough in rehabilitation technology, offering unprecedented benefits for recovery and training.

What is the AlterG Treadmill?

Originally developed using NASA technology, the AlterG treadmill uses differential air pressure to reduce body weight by up to 80%, allowing patients to walk or run with significantly reduced impact on their joints and muscles.

Revolutionary Benefits

Early Mobilisation

Start walking and exercising earlier in your recovery journey while maintaining proper gait patterns and reducing the risk of compensatory injuries.

Precise Weight Control

Gradually increase weight-bearing as healing progresses, with precise control over body weight percentage from 20% to 100%.

Pain-Free Exercise

Exercise comfortably with reduced joint impact, making it ideal for rehabilitation after surgery or injury.

Who Can Benefit?

The AlterG treadmill is particularly beneficial for:

  • Post-surgical rehabilitation
  • Sports injury recovery
  • Neurological conditions
  • Arthritis and joint pain
  • Weight management programmes
  • Athletic training and conditioning

The Recovery Process

At Lambert Sports Clinic, we integrate the AlterG treadmill into personalised recovery programmes:

  1. Initial assessment to determine appropriate starting weight-bearing percentage
  2. Gradual progression of weight-bearing and intensity
  3. Regular monitoring and adjustment of parameters
  4. Integration with other physiotherapy treatments
  5. Transition to full weight-bearing activities

Real Results

Our patients using the AlterG treadmill typically experience:

  • Faster recovery times
  • Reduced pain during exercise
  • Improved confidence in movement
  • Better maintenance of cardiovascular fitness during recovery
