Adiós impacto, adiós lesiones

Después de muchos años como profesora de fitness, dando clases de alto impacto y alta intensidad, un día mi cuerpo dijo “basta”. Me dolía todo, sobre todo la espalda, y me sentía bloqueada física y psicológicamente. Por suerte, en aquella época acaba de hacerme profesora de body balance, un programa de fitness que combina yoga, pilates, tai chi y estiramientos. Suave pero con un gran trabajo de…

Alter-G, un tapis roulant anti-gravité qui permet de récupérer plus rapidement d'une blessure. Il permet aux gens moins en forme de commencer à marcher ou courir plus rapidement et facilement.

L'anti-gravité enlève la pression de 20% à 100% du poids de l'individu, par incrément de 1%. Le seul en son genre. 

Facilite grandement la marche ou la course pour tout ceux qui de la difficulté à le faire. 

Super produit, je suis impressionné! Je le conseillerais aux hôpitaux et les cliniques de physiothérapie le plus tôt possible. 

Have you ever hurt? I mean hurt so much that you can barely move. And forget running, there is no way you can get your body out there to be healthy enough to run. Well, now , runners, walkers, and active peoples alike; are prayers have been answered...the AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill has arrived!

The AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill® uses unique differential air pressure technology that provides accurate, safe and comfortable partial weight-bearing therapy while promoting normal gait patterns.

Unique unweighting technology provides the opportunity to rehabilitate lower extremities like never before

Precise partial weight-bearing enables accurate implementation of unweighting protocols not found in any other rehabilitation equipment on the market

Provides highly effective neuromuscular and proprioceptive retraining

Technology developed at NASA and further developed by AlterG for medical rehabilitation, fitness and sports performance training

The Anti-Gravity Treadmill® is FDA-cleared for the following functional rehabilitation indications:

Rehabilitation following injury or surgery of the lower extremity (hip, knee, ankle or foot)

Rehabilitation after total joint replacement

Gait training in neurologic patients

Strengthening and conditioning in older patients

Weight control and reduction

Sport specific conditioning programs

Aerobic conditioning

Unlike the simple lift harness devices, AlterG’s unweighting system incorporates differential air pressure technology developed by NASA and enhanced by AlterG to provide precise unweighting in one percent increments to as low as 20 percent of the patient’s body weight. AlterG’s exclusive precision gives patients the ability to set the exact point where exercise becomes pain free and provides clinicians a way to accurately measure patient progress. This revolutionary rehabilitation equipment is used and recommended by leading physical therapy clinics, hospitals, colleges and pro sports teams.

Most lower extremity rehabilitation programs stress the importance of becoming mobile as soon as possible. AlterG’s medical treadmill offers the most advanced anti-gravity approach to physical therapy based on “unweighting” technology. It is safe, effective and FDA approved and covered by many health insurance plans.

Final Thoughts... This machine kicks some major ass! I am heading to Fremont, CA in a couple weeks to give this a spin, and will have some video as well. But in all honestly, when addressing injuries, this machine is amazing! I have met some people that have been paralyzed on portions of their bodies, and after nearly 6 months, she was able to use this and walk/jog for 40 minutes straight. AHHHHMazing!

I'll post video with an interview with AlterG in a couple weeks...
