AlterG at TheraWest

Now Available in Weatherford:

Recover with the AlterG® Anti-Gravity Treadmill

When you’re recovering from an injury or surgery, one of the hardest parts can be getting moving again. Walking hurts. Stairs feel impossible. Even standing for long periods can seem overwhelming.

At TheraWest Physical Therapy in Weatherford, we’re excited to introduce a new tool that helps many patients start moving sooner and with greater confidence: the AlterG® Anti-Gravity Treadmill.

What Is the AlterG?

The AlterG uses NASA-inspired technology to gently reduce the amount of weight your body places on your legs and joints while walking or running.

Think of it as safely “lightening the load.”

Instead of placing 100% of your body weight through a painful knee, hip, ankle, or foot, the AlterG allows your therapist to reduce that weight so you can move with significantly less discomfort.

That means many people can begin walking earlier, move more naturally, and rebuild strength without overloading healing tissues.

Who Can Benefit?

The AlterG can be an excellent option for people recovering from:

• Knee replacement surgery

• Hip replacement surgery

• Foot or ankle injuries

• Stress fractures

• ACL reconstruction

• Running injuries

• Arthritis

• Balance concerns

• Chronic joint pain

It can also help athletes return to running gradually while reducing impact on their joints.

Why Less Weight Can Mean Better Recovery

Many people assume recovery requires pushing through pain.

In reality, quality movement often matters far more than painful movement.

By reducing stress on your joints, the AlterG allows many patients to:

• Walk with a more natural gait

• Improve confidence while moving

• Build endurance safely

• Increase walking distance

• Continue exercising when full weight-bearing would be too painful

Your physical therapist can gradually increase the amount of weight you carry as your strength and healing improve.

Part of a Personalized Treatment Plan

The AlterG isn’t a replacement for physical therapy—it’s another tool your therapist can use to help you recover more effectively.

Every treatment plan at TheraWest is designed around your individual goals, whether that’s returning to work, getting back on the golf course, keeping up with your grandchildren, or simply walking without pain.
