SportsCare & Rehabilitation offers Alter-G’s innovative G-Trainer anti-gravity treadmill for athletic training and medical treatment programs.

Alter-G’s technology, developed by NASA and tested by Nike, is different from other fitness and therapeutic equipment because it defies gravity by applying a lifting force to the body that reduces weight on the lower extremities. Unlike other unweighting methods, the G-Trainer enables athletes to train with their natural gait and rhythm, and significantly shortens the time required for patients to recover from injury or surgery.

“We are excited to provide this new technology in our clinic,” Jake Spivey, PT manager and partner. "Our clinical team here at SCR and referring physicians can use the G-Trainer with an injured weekend warrior wanting to get back to full capacity, or with one of our elite athletes working on increasing performance levels.”

Numerous Olympians who trained for the 2008 games in Beijing proved the G-Trainer’s effectiveness this summer, including several runners recovering from injuries. In addition, 15 professional sports teams, 12 universities, and numerous performance enhancement facilities also use the equipment.

Alter-G’s equipment allows a person to train longer, minimize stress on the joints, and exercise at a higher level of intensity. This type of therapy is also beneficial to medical patients suffering from arthritis, lower extremity fractures, knee replacement surgery, joint problems, strokes, neurological and balance disorders, and many other conditions.

“The G-Trainer is being adopted nationally by leading hospitals and rehabilitation clinics and we are pleased to see Jake Spivey, PT and SportsCare & Rehabilitation be pioneers in this region,” said Lars Barfod, CEO of Alter-G. “Our unique approach to unweighted physical therapy preserves natural body movement, prevents falls and benefits a broad range of medical conditions.” The FDA approved the G-Trainer for medical use in January 2008.

The new equipment allows SportsCare & Rehabilitation’s clinicians to prescribe accurate partial weight-bearing exercise to more of their patients who are recovering from surgery, injury or disease of the lower body.

We welcome you to come experience the G-Trainer!
The public is invited to experience the G-Trainer by scheduling a personal demonstration at SportsCare & Rehabilitation. Patients are encouraged to ask their physicians if the G-Trainer is an appropriate treatment option.
