Our Alter G Antigravity Treadmill
Reducing gravitational load
Redefining What’s Possible in Recovery
We are proud to be one of the few practices in South Africa to offer the AlterG® Anti-Gravity Treadmill – a breakthrough in rehabilitation and performance training. Using patented NASA Differential Air Pressure (DAP) technology, this treadmill creates a precise, pressurised air chamber around the lower body, allowing you to reduce your effective body weight in 1% increments.
The result?
Movement that’s lighter, safer, and pain-free – even during early recovery. Whether you’re bouncing back from injury, navigating a neurological condition, training for performance, or simply wanting to move without discomfort – this technology opens new doors.
How it works
By reducing gravitational load, the AlterG allows you to walk or run at
20% to 100% of your body weight, enabling:
• Rehabilitation of lower limb injuries with less pain and faster progress
• Earlier movement after surgery, without compromising healing
• Safe, low-impact training for neurological or balance conditions
• Improved mobility and endurance in older adults or deconditioned patients
• Pain-free conditioning and recovery for athletes and active individuals
Why It’s Different
No other unweighting technology offers this level of precision, accuracy, and comfort.
By mimicking natural movement while reducing strain, the AlterG helps you restore strength, range of motion, balance, and function — faster and more confidently.

You can use the AlterG:
• As part of your physiotherapy program
