Alter-G in Lexington
As dedicated sports physical therapists, we understand the importance of optimal training and rehabilitation to enhance athletic performance and promote injury recovery. Our clinic is proud to offer the state-of-the-art Alter-G Anti-Gravity Treadmill, a cutting-edge tool that can revolutionize your athletic journey.
What is Alter-G?
The Alter-G Anti-Gravity Treadmill is a game-changer in the world of sports rehabilitation and training. It utilizes innovative Differential Air Pressure (DAP) technology to reduce the impact of gravity on your body, allowing you to train and recover with reduced load and joint stress. Whether you’re a professional athlete, a weekend warrior, or someone recovering from an injury, the Alter-G can help you reach your goals faster and safer.
What Are the Benefits of Alter-G in Lexington?
Reduced Impact: The Alter-G allows you to run or walk with a fraction of your body weight, significantly reducing the impact on your joints, muscles, and connective tissues. This is particularly beneficial during the recovery process, as it enables you to start exercising sooner, promoting faster healing and preventing further injuries.
Precise Unloading: With the Alter-G, we can precisely control the amount of body weight support, starting from as little as 20% of your body weight. This adjustable unloading feature allows us to gradually increase the load as you progress, facilitating a smooth transition back to full weight-bearing activities. It’s a personalized approach to rehabilitation that maximizes your recovery potential.
Gait Analysis and Correction: The Alter-G’s unique design incorporates an integrated video monitoring system, enabling us to assess your running or walking gait in real-time. This technology allows us to analyze your movement patterns and identify any irregularities or compensations. With this information, we can develop targeted interventions to improve your technique and prevent future injuries.
Sports-Specific Training: The Alter-G enables sports-specific training, simulating the demands of your particular sport while reducing the risk of re-injury. Whether you’re a runner, a soccer player, a basketball enthusiast, or any other athlete, the Alter-G can help you train at optimal levels, enhancing your performance and building endurance in a controlled environment.
Aerobic Conditioning: Cardiovascular fitness is crucial for athletes, and the Alter-G provides a unique platform for aerobic conditioning. By unloading a percentage of your body weight, you can engage in longer and more intense workouts without excessive fatigue or strain. This allows you to build cardiovascular endurance, improve stamina, and optimize your overall athletic performance.
