What Are Gravity-Reducing Treadmills?
Gravity-reducing treadmills can be beneficial for your performance training and rehabilitation needs and work by reducing pressure on your body caused by gravity. This technology allows you to perfect walking mechanics post-operatively, reduce risk of falls, and train gait. Gravity-reducing treadmills give you the opportunity to challenge your running speed and to increase distance without risk of overuse injuries. Spooner therapists can give real-time feedback on how you are walking or running on these treadmills, so you can achieve your goals.
Gravity-reducing treadmills gives you the opportunity to rehab after surgery, or train through injury, without pain caused by full weight bearing movement. Its unique unweighting technology gives you the option to move at 20 to 100 percent of your body weight. They lower the impact on your joints and muscles during exercise or rehabilitation.
