AlterG: Keeping Sporty People Healthy and Well

AlterG is a health and wellness company that pioneers the use of innovative technologies to keep a healthy and active lifestyle. The company aims to reinvent rehabilitation by providing technologies for quicker recovery from injuries, surgeries, and disabilities. AlterG helps athletes and sports enthusiasts reduce the frequency of injury.

AlterG has acquired a patent for its differential air pressure technology. It offers the most precise unweighting benefits. This technology was first developed at NASA to help American astronauts in their unweighting programs.

Earlier this year, the US FDA approved the AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill®, the first of its kind. The device is used by hospitals, physical therapy centers, fitness centers, and colleges and universities, as well as by professional athletes in their fitness programs.

The US FDA has also cleared AlterG’s applications for a precise partial weight bearing. In the application, AlterG included rehabilitation of disabilities in any lower body part, neurological retraining, geriatric strengthening and conditioning, weight control, and programs for specified sports.
