A Veteran undergoing physical therapy at the Palo Alto VA Medical Center can walk or jog on an “anti-gravity” treadmill that uses a unique differential air pressure technology allowing the Veteran to feel as if they are “walking on the moon” by reducing the pressure of the body’s weight.

The team’s new anti-gravity treadmill, which was brought in for Griffin’s rehab, may get more use from the Clippers’ starting center and small forward, who were both injured in the team’s last game.
