Charlotte Robinson-Hodge, a third year Sports Therapy student has been in our sports and exercise laboratory using our new state of the art AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill to help with the rehabilitation of her client.
"The Anti-Gravity Treadmill enables a therapist to reduce gravity’s impact and rehabilitate lower extremity injuries with less pain and impact than a normal treadmill. My client has suffered with chronic lower back pain which has resulted in her being unable to walk unaided, and she has altered movement patterns, pain, instability and low levels of confidence. The Anti-Gravity treadmill has allowed my client to exercise with reduced pain whilst minimising stress on the joints and the injured region. The rehabilitation programme will continue to encompass the Anti-Gravity Treadmill to improve her overall independence and wellbeing."
