The AlterG® Anti-Gravity Treadmill is an incredible tool that can help people recovering from injury or surgery and improve mobility to get back on their feet in no time. We strongly believe in the rehabilitative benefits of the AlterG® Anti-Gravity Treadmill and constantly incorporate it into our physical therapy treatment.

In addition to the healing benefits of learning to walk and run on the AlterG, there are major benefits for runners to use it in their marathon training and half marathon.  

We have a long list of Miami runners who stop by IPT weekly to get their long runs in on the AlterG instead of pounding the pavement in the Miami heat.

So how does the AlterG® Anti-Gravity Treadmill® F320 work?

• Reduce gravity’s impact by selecting any weight between 20% and 100% of your body weight by 1% increments

• Rehabilitate lower extremity injuries with less pain and less impact

• Improve mobility, strength and safety for those with neurological conditions

• Provide a safe way to lose weight and exercise more intensively while unweighted

• Train without pain and reduce the stress to joints and muscles

• Recover effectively and with less pain after training or competition

• Allowing you to walk or run with no pain while maintaining a normal gait

• Reducing stress on joints and injured areas of your lower body

• Giving you the confidence and ability to run or walk longer and recover faster with less pain

Are you thinking of training for a half marathon or a full marathon? Many times training plans require that you run long distances multiple times before the race. But this can also lead to overuse and injury.  Imagine if you could run your 20 mile distance training at half your weight. Your muscles and joints will thank you!

Another big perk of training on the AlterG is avoiding the heat in Miami. The big races like the Chicago Marathon and NYC Marathon take place in Fall, meaning your training most likely starts in summer.
