Anti-Gravity Treadmill Available in Phoenix.

Endurance Rehab Invites Phoenix to See a G-Trainer Demo for Rehabilitation, Fitness, and Injury Prevention

PHOENIX -- Endurance Rehabilitation, a physical therapy practice specializing in the treatment and prevention of orthopedic and athletic injuries, today announced the arrival of the G-Trainer Anti-Gravity Treadmill. The G-Trainer is a new high-tech unweighting system that allows for faster rehabilitation after lower extremity injuries or surgeries and improves athletic performance without restricting mobility, painful harnesses or getting in a pool.

The G-Trainer Anti-Gravity Treadmill was developed by Alter-G and enables users to reduce their effective body weight during exercise. It incorporates an advanced air pressure regulation system and a high-end treadmill to create a lifting force that lets users walk or run at reduced effective body weight.

Rehabilitation:

By reducing the overall effective body weight, patients are able to return to weight bearing activities and gait training much sooner. Previously, patients were limited to bulky harness systems which had limited mobility and prompted abnormal gait training or aquatic therapy which increased risk of infection and limited resistance and weight control. "We're very excited to have the G-Trainer available to our patients. We now have an advanced tool that will allow patients with lower body injuries to begin weight bearing gait training sooner, and as a result, significantly reduce their recovery time," said Matthew Kraemer, director of Endurance Rehabilitation's Phoenix clinic.

Performance Training:

Athletes can utilize the G-Trainer at Endurance to increase their speed and performance. By training at a decreased effective body weight, the athlete can increase their volume of training while avoiding injury, train during injury recovery, and increase speed and foot turnover prior to reaching cardiovascular limitations.

Alberto Salazar is the director of Nike's Oregon Project and prescribes the G-Trainer for his athletes. He has said, "The G-Trainer is allowing me to add 15% to 25% more running miles to an athlete's training while keeping them just as healthy as they were at the reduced mileage. I believe that the athletes are working on their turnover and their speed on the G-Trainer better than if they had run the extra miles outside."

A number of professional sports organizations, including the Phoenix Suns, have already been using the G-Trainer as a tool to rehabilitate and improve their athletes' speed and performance.
