AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill in North Charleston, SC

Why Choose AlterG Therapy?
The treadmill uses patented Differential Air Pressure (DAP) technology, allowing precise reduction of your body-weight load in 1 % increments.

By reducing the gravitational force on your body, you can walk or run with significantly less impact on joints and soft tissues — enabling earlier movement, safer training, and less pain.

Ideal for athletes recovering from lower-extremity injuries, total joint replacements, re-training gait or balance, managing neurological conditions, or those who want to maintain conditioning while minimizing risk of re-injury. 

What to Expect
When you participate in AlterG therapy at our clinic:

• We perform a comprehensive evaluation to determine your current mobility, strength, and loading tolerance.
• You step into the AlterG treadmill and our therapist sets an initial body-weight support level (for example reducing you to 60–80 % of your body weight) so you can safely begin walking or running with less pain.
• As you progress, your load is gradually increased until you return to full body-weight and normal function — all under professional supervision.
• Our team integrates this tool into your broader rehab plan — including strength training, manual therapy, sport-specific drills (e.g., running, golf, baseball), and gait/balance work.
• Benefits at a Glance
  Reduced impact — less stress on joints, muscles, and connective tissue during rehab or training.
• Accelerated recovery — start functional movement sooner and with more confidence.
  
• Improved mobility and endurance — safely increase walking/running volume without overloading vulnerable tissues.
  
• Safer sports return — athletes can maintain cardio and movement training while protecting healing areas and lowering risk of re-injury.
