An Update on Prevea’s Western Wisconsin Operation

 

A low-impact option for walking or running

Prevea Health offers AlterG® Anti-Gravity Treadmills at various locations (Ashwaubenon and East De Pere) to offer a low-impact option for walking or running. 

The AlterG anti-gravity treadmill is a revolutionary device that offers numerous benefits for individuals seeking a low-impact and efficient workout experience. By utilizing differential air pressure to simulate a reduced gravitational force, the treadmill allows users to exercise with less strain on their bodies. This innovative technology also enables athletes to maintain their training routines while minimizing the risk of further injury. Additionally, the AlterG treadmill facilitates targeted rehabilitation by allowing users to gradually increase their weight-bearing capacity, improving strength and mobility over time. With its versatile and therapeutic capabilities, the anti-gravity treadmill has become an invaluable tool for physical therapy clinics, sports performance centers, and fitness enthusiasts alike, offering an effective means of achieving fitness goals while minimizing the risk of injury and maximizing recovery. 

The AlterG is especially helpful for sports medicine patients recovering from a lower extremity injury or surgery. It can also be beneficial for some neurological conditions, chronic disease, balance issues, obesity and orthopedic disorders. Those seeking to improve their physical activity in a controlled environment can also benefit from the anti-gravity treadmill. 

The anti-gravity treadmill may be used as part of the physical therapy treatment plan. The treadmill is also available as a cash-pay option for $10 for every 15 minutes of use.
