MANILA, Philippines - Kinetics Advance Physiotherapy recently launched the country’s first AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill.
Developed parallel to the technology used by NASA to train astronauts, the AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill gives its users the opportunity to run and train without pain. This is made possible through its unweighting technology, which precisely reduces one’s weight up to 80 percent while walking or running with the machine — something that resembles the feeling of walking on the moon.
“I started prescribing AlterG’s partial weight bearing therapy and now my ACL patients are jogging earlier than ever. The machine makes it easier and less painful for my patients to begin closed kinetic chain movement faster after surgery,” said Dr. Charles Preston, MD, Muir Orthopedic Specialists from Walnut Creek, CA.
As a rehabilitation tool beyond athletics, the AlterG has likewise transformed how physical therapists help their senior patients and those with post-operative conditions such as stroke, Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis, among others, to return to their normal physical routine — without the risk of injuries. The use of the machine in such cases are likely due to its ability to unweigh individuals, which reduces the risks of further muscular tissue damage. Results yielded from the AlterG also goes beyond the physical benefits, as it also gives its patients an emotional and physiological effect of hope and recovery because of its ability to restore mobility while on the machine.
Apart from its use as a means to speed up and aid in rehabilitation, the AlterG also provides horizontally challenged individuals an avenue to shed added weight pressure on the lower body during a run on the machine. Accompanied by a strict diet and continuous use of the machine for cardio exercises, running on the AlterG has been proven to be a more effective path to weight-loss as compared to other cardio exercises.
In the Philippines, Kinetics Advance Physiotherapy is the first and only rehabilitation clinic and gym crossover that gives you the game- changing experience of the AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill. Kinetics’ rehabilitation team is equipped with the proper knowledge and training to address the concerns and objectives of its growing clientele, in the best and fastest way possible.
