Anti-gravity rehabilitation (Alter-G)

The AlterG is a treadmill that utilizes the technology developed by NASA unweighting users through "differential air pressure". It was initially used as a way for astronauts to exercise and maintain conditioning during space missions. In Health Park it is used to maintain the cardio fitness in athletes in specific training phases or when affected by sore muscles and/or minor injuries that would impair the classic gym training or after a competition while getting ready for the next one to come, make aerobic conditioning possible to overweight individuals, assure a computerized body weight/load control, to deliver Strength & Conditioning programs for the elderly, maintaining cardiovascular fitness of the athletes in presence of injury, and allow running again fostering strengthening, in individual affected by hip/knee/ankle ostheoarthritis.

Over 50 articles on peer-reviewed journals have been published on the use and efficacy of the AlterG's lower body positive pressure therapy, with more research underway every day.

The most frequent applications the training field are as follows:

• keeping up the training saving the lower extremity joints
• maintain or improve cardio status while recovering in the immediate days following a competition (eg: half-marathon, marathon, etc.) or while dealing with minor injuries
• progress through load in a totally programmed fashion
• perform deloaded HIIT training
• weight loss (obesity)
• over speed training
• return to run (even after years) in people affected by chronic pathologies taking advantage from the gravity reduction and up to 80% (eg. hip/knee/ankle fractures), etc.

With the AlterG anti-gravity treadmill your recovery and fitness move to the next level. Reduce gravity and neutralize impact stress, improve your movement control and enjoy again the pleasure of walking, running, and jumping.
Health Park empowers people to move again, in new painless ways.

Many of our clients, athletes, and elite sports teams have made use of this setup in our facilities to keep up with their running program even after major competitions (eg: half marathon, marathon) thanks to the deloading effect which doesn't impact recently loaded joints and sore muscles.

For this goal, depending on the needs of the patient, we offer:

• 30 minutes AlterG session = 75 CHF
• 1 hour AlterG session = 130 CHF
• 10 pack of AlterG 30' sessions = 650 CHF
• 10 pack of AlterG 1h sessions = 1000 CHF
