Title: The Benefits of Using a Zero Gravity Treadmill

Oakville, ON, Canada, 20th Mar 2025 – Velocity Sports Medicine announces the addition of state-of-the-art zero gravity treadmill technology to its comprehensive suite of rehabilitation services, offering patients unprecedented recovery opportunities while minimizing impact on joints and injuries.The innovative AlterG® Anti-Gravity Treadmill™ utilizes differential air pressure technology originally developed by NASA to create a controlled environment where patients can exercise at a fraction of their body weight—as low as 20 percent—significantly reducing stress on recovering tissues."This technology represents a paradigm shift in rehabilitation science," explains Jeff Ransome, Director of Performance and President at Velocity Sports Medicine. "By precisely controlling weight-bearing loads, we can initiate therapeutic movement much earlier in the recovery process, drastically improving outcomes for our patients."The benefits of zero gravity treadmill therapy extend across multiple patient populations. For post-surgical rehabilitation patients, the system enables controlled movement without compromising surgical repairs. Athletes recovering from injuries can maintain cardiovascular fitness and muscle memory while protecting healing tissues. Senior patients experiencing joint pain can exercise comfortably with reduced impact. Individuals managing chronic conditions like arthritis can engage in movement therapy with minimal discomfort.Clinical studies demonstrate that early mobilization through reduced weight-bearing exercise leads to faster recovery times, improved range of motion, enhanced circulation, and decreased muscle atrophy during rehabilitation."We've seen remarkable improvements in recovery timelines," notes Jeff Ransome, Kinesiologist and Exercise...
