Book an AlterG appointment by phone at +358 50 306 2356 (Mon-Thu, 8:30 a.m.-3:00 p.m.).

AlterG is an anti-gravity treadmill that reduces the load placed on the lower extremities without altering the natural walking or running gait. It can enable walking or running when full weight-bearing exercise is not possible or is not recommended.
AlterG training as part of rehabilitation
Training on the AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill may be beneficial for:
- Individuals recovering from lower limb injuries
- Athletes returning to training after overuse injuries
- Post-operative rehabilitation
- People experiencing joint or tendon pain
- Rehabilitation for neurological conditions
- Individuals who wish to increase physical activity while minimizing stress on their joints
AlterG can be used either independently or as part of a rehabilitation program. If you are using AlterG as part of your rehabilitation, please consult your healthcare provider for guidance on the appropriate level of body-weight support and the recommended training duration.
