Unlike hydrotherapy or harnesses, the Alter-G allows you to keep your normal running gait and technique.

The treadmill will gently reduce your bodyweight with air pressure from 100% to as low as 20% in precise 1% increments for low-impact and pain-free movement.

The Alter-G can be used for an array of different injuries or modified exercise programs. Melbourne CBD Physiotherapy & Sports Medicine patients commonly use the Alter-G to rehabilitate bone, joint and specific muscle related injuries.
