The AlterG is an anti-gravity treadmill system that allows you to walk or run with up to 80% of your body weight offloaded. This means you can get back to walking or running without the pain and reduce your risk of stress related injuries. The AlterG DOES NOT require a cumbersome harness system like other offloading systems & the AlterG allows you to adjust your body weight at 1% increments. Look below for links to protocols for speed training, weight loss, back pain and more.
