Run Earlier. Heal Smarter. The Anti‑Gravity Treadmill in the Inner West
The Anti‑Gravity Treadmill allows you to walk and run with significantly reduced body weight, meaning less impact through your joints, muscles, and bones — without losing natural movement patterns.
What is the Anti‑Gravity Treadmill?
At SportsFit Health & Rehab, we use the BTL R‑Force Anti‑Gravity Treadmill, a next‑generation system that supports up to 100% of your body weight, allowing precise control of loading during rehabilitation and performance training.
It’s similar to an AlterG, but with more advanced gait feedback, higher performance capability, and clinical control — making it ideal for both early‑stage rehab and return‑to‑run progressions.
Who Is It For?
The Anti‑Gravity Treadmill is commonly used for:
ACL reconstruction rehabilitation
Tibial stress fractures and bone stress injuries
Return‑to‑running programs
Post‑surgical knee, ankle, and hip rehab
Achilles tendon and calf injuries
Osteoarthritis and joint pain management
Neurological gait rehabilitation
General deconditioning after injury or illness
Elite and sub‑elite athlete performance support
Whether you’re an injured runner, a field sport athlete, or returning to activity after surgery, the Anti‑Gravity Treadmill allows you to keep moving earlier and more safely.
Why Use Anti‑Gravity Running?
Traditional rehabilitation often forces a choice between rest and full impact exercise.
The Anti‑Gravity Treadmill bridges that gap by allowing:
-
Reduced joint and bone loading
-
Earlier return to walking and running
-
Maintenance of cardiovascular fitness
-
Preservation of normal gait mechanics
-
Controlled, progressive re‑loading
This makes it especially valuable for injuries where load management is critical — such as stress fractures, tendon injuries, and post‑operative recovery.
How It Fits Into Your Rehab or Training
The Anti‑Gravity Treadmill is typically used as part of a broader physiotherapy or performance program, not as a standalone solution.
Your physio will determine:
-
How much body weight should be unloaded
-
When to progress walking to jogging
-
When and how to transition back to ground running
