Anti-Gravity Treadmill®

Reclaiming your health and mobility after an injury or illness may require a fitness program. The Watson Clinic Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine facility at our Highlands location provides a team of orthopaedic surgeons, sports medicine physicians, physical therapists, athletic trainers, and the most highly advanced rehabilitation technologies in the field, including the Anti-Gravity Treadmill®.

The Anti-Gravity Treadmill® is a patented NASA technology which improves fitness and rehabilitation by providing more support to the body. The treadmill controls gravity by utilizing air pressure technology. Users experience a gentle lifting force that reduces their body weight by as much as 80 percent. This results in low joint impact and allows them to walk or run more freely.

Patients with orthopaedic conditions, vestibular disorders, neurologic or sports-related injuries can benefit from the treadmill with an easier workout that decreases the patients recovery time, as well as patients recuperating from an illness or injury.
