ALTER-G TREADMILL
Halloween At Shoreline PT!
Does your foot, ankle, hip, or knee pain make running or moving an uncomfortable feat? Do you suffer from arthritis that hinders your day-to-day physical abilities? These common conditions that can be extremely uncomfortable, making you feel limited in your mobility. Pain can be inconvenient and isolating, making many people feel as if they are unable to do the activities they used to love. Fortunately,
at Shoreline PT, we have the experience, methods, and tools you need to relieve your pain and reclaim your mobility. If your arthritic pains are slowing you down, you may benefit from our AlterG Treadmill treatments – the only anti-gravity treadmill. What is the AlterG Treadmill? The term “anti-gravity” admittedly makes it sound like a contraption from a science-fiction universe. In reality, this treadmill was created using advanced contemporary science and technology. The Differential Air Pressure (DAP) technology has been patented by NASA, allowing for a precise calibration of air pressure. The pressurized mechanics of the treadmill act to “unweight” the patient while the machine is in use. By doing so, the patient is able to use the treadmill by seemingly “floating” above it – allowing them to complete their exercise treatments without the harsh foot-to-treadmill impact you get with normal gravity. How will AlterG benefit me? This device will reduce the impact of your body weight by 80% while in use. It is a form of treatment that can be beneficial to anyone, especially those with joint and inflammatory pains caused by arthritis. It provides some much-needed relief that most other treatments simply are not able to do, creating a pain-free environment where you can achieve your goals and get back to doing the activities you love. By releasing the gravitational pressure of your body, the AlterG Treadmill is able to help you comfortably restore your normal walking, jogging, running, and moving mechanics. It also promotes strengthening exercises that can heal any tissues or cartilage that have been damaged by arthritis, in addition to building more muscle. All of this adds up to a much safer, quicker, and comfortable recovery than you may experience without it. Arthritic patients are prime candidates for the AlterG Treadmill, because the unweighted technology relieves pressure on the joints, making the exercise experience much more comfortable and pleasant. Patients are strapped into the middle of the treadmill, with their feet enclosed in the pressurized case. By safely securing patients, they are able to use the weight-bearing treadmill freely, without pressure on their legs or the fear of falling off of it. Other conditions that have shown improvement through the AlterG Treadmill include tendinitis, obesity, osteoporosis, plantar fasciitis, shin splints, spine fusions, stress fractures, neurological disorders, complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD), and total joint replacement. The AlterG technology provides a controlled environment for patients to exercise and heal. This allows them to regain functionality and return to their normal activities much faster than they may have anticipated. By getting back into physical activity as quickly as possible, patients are able to avoid unwanted risks, such as swelling and inflammation, weakened muscles, stiffness, or even atrophy. If your arthritis is stopping you from living your best quality of life, contact Shoreline PT today to schedule a consultation with one of our dedicated physical therapists. The AlterG Treadmill could be the ideal treatment for you!
