Good news for runners!

Is running bad for your knees? 😊
Great post by The Freshman Physio:
“Recent evidence shows runners had similar age related changes to non runners with knee OA on X-RAY. .
They also founds runners reported less symptoms suggesting benefits of running for knee health.
This is not a call to get everyone running with knee pain. But certainly do NOT get all your runners to stop and pick up cycling as a new sport.
Runners need to be reassured they can continue without fear and may even lead to improvements in symptoms.
As always, running needs to be programmed and loaded appropriate to a runners ability and symptoms. And always coupled with an appropriate strengthening program.

It can be tough to get back to normal walking after a major injury. The AlterG anti-gravity treadmill can help! If you take some of your body weight off, you can walk faster and with less pain. Heal Stronger!

Are you interested in seeing how the AlterG anti-gravity treadmill works and how it can help you run pain free? Check out this short video clip:

The anti-gravity treadmill uses air pressure to reduce body weight while running, helping diagnose pain and recover from injury. It's like running on clouds.

Anna has wisely used the AlterG treadmill to transition from walking boot to full load running. She started by unloading 30% of her body weight to allow her to walk and then run without pain. She can get her running fix without setting herself back. It has been fun watching her progress!

Carryl injured her foot in August and is now transitioning back to running with the help of the AlterG treadmill. While she was here we started working on improving her run cadence to help prevent future injury. Solid work!

Brittany came to use the AlterG from to see if we could help her fix an altered gait following an injury. With the reduced body weight she could run longer and it highlighted muscle patterning faults. We were able to alter her PT program to address the neuromuscular patterning deficits.

Stephanie had a patella fracture in February and is using the AlterG to work on quad strengthening with reduced load. Targeted, challenging work made possible with the anti-gravity treadmill!

Anna got a stress fracture in the middle of her marathon training and after immobilization has gotten the clearance to run again. AlterG has allowed her to transition from the pool with partial weight bearing running. She is thrilled to get back at it safely and more quickly with anti-gravity.

First time AlterG user yesterday stated "This is the longest I have run in three years and it doesn't even hurt! This is awesome." Come in and check it out!

Have you ever suffered an injury that took you away from one of your favorite activities? Our latest client badly broke her mid-foot last year and didn't know if she'd run again but with the AlterG she's back to running pain-free!
