Revolutionary Military Physical Therapy
The AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill provides unique progressive weight-bearing military physical therapy and is rapidly becoming the standard of care in the Department of Defense and VA systems to get service men and women back in theatre and rehabilitate veterans.
Typical successful uses include:
- Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
- Orthopedic disabilities of the lower body
- Learning to walk with prosthetics
- Athletic and endurance military physical training
- Weight control programs
The unique Differential Air-Pressure (DAP) technology, originally developed at NASA, provides accurate control over the user’s body weight while retaining normal balance and gait in a fall safe environment.
AlterG is FDA and CE cleared for medical use, is manufactured in the United States, and already used by leading DOD and VA facilities, hospitals, performance training centers, PT clinics, pro sports teams and colleges for physical therapy and athletic training.

Military PT
Several military training facilities have incorporated AlterG Treadmills in their military pt (physical training) program. Scoring well on the PFT requires a good mix of weight, flexibility, endurance, and cardiovascular training. These training components are the basis of a great military pt workout routine that will make soldiers strong, flexible and increase cardiovascular capacity to feed oxygen to growing muscles. AlterG Treadmills effectively increases all of these important training components through increasing:
- Endurance – jogging and running strengthens muscles and improves the health of the heart and circulatory system
- Strengthening – increases lean muscle tissue mass
- Range of Motion – keep the body flexible and maintains good joint health
