Why Do People Use the Anti-Gravity Treadmill?

FAQs

Do I need a doctor’s referral to use the AlterG at Ivy Rehab?

No referral is needed for private pay sessions—you can schedule an AlterG session directly. If you plan to use insurance to cover your treatment, referral requirements may vary depending on your insurance provider and location. We recommend contacting your local Ivy Rehab clinic to confirm what’s needed based on your plan. Our team can help guide you through any necessary paperwork or approvals.

How long are typical AlterG sessions?

AlterG sessions typically last between 20 to 45 minutes, depending on your individual rehabilitation goals, tolerance, and progression. Your therapist will work with you to determine the ideal session length and frequency. Sessions can be customized for recovery from surgery, injury, or general performance training.

How quickly can I start using the AlterG after surgery or injury?

In many cases, once cleared by your medical provider, you can begin using the AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill just weeks after surgery or injury. The AlterG allows for low-impact, controlled weight-bearing, which can help reduce strain on healing tissues and accelerate your recovery timeline. By gently reintroducing movement earlier in your rehab process, it can support a safer, more confident return to walking, running, or sport-specific activity.

The Physical therapist Caroline was excellent, the entire staff was amazing caring and empathic of my situation, great office, the only thing that is difficult for me is the distance too far for me to drive, but otherwise is a great office.

I love my Ivy team in Moorestown. They care, and they really listen to their patients. They developed a physical therapy campaign for me that increases strength, balance, and confidence. The staff is wonderfully kind and intelligent.

Brian Stinson helped me avoid rotator cuff surgery due to his rehab skill with my arm almost two years ago and now I’ve returned for his help in strengthening my arm after elbow replacement surgery. Excel is the greatest.

I had been suffering with severe TMJ pain for over 5 months. I was referred to physical therapy and found Joe at Excel. One appointment — that's right — one appointment and I already had relief thanks to dry needling and some neck stretching. I was in shock that I had been in so much pain for so long and I felt better almost instantly. Joe listens, explains, and demonstrates what he wants me to do.

The entire office has a "family" feel and everyone is so nice. I highly recommend Joe for anyone suffering with TMJ issues.
I'm adding 5 stars here because they deserve 10! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Response from the owner:Hi Alina! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave us a review and recommendation. Glad to hear about your experience with Cosimo!
I had a great experience here thanks to Megan, my awesome physical therapist, and the rest of the team. Megan was fantastic—super knowledgeable and always encouraging.

My children have been with ABC for nearly 4 years and they have helped them tremendously. My sons have autism and have made such progress with ABC’s knowledgeable and skilled staff. They are just wonderful. Whoever gave them a bad review is just 🤪 crazy. They really work with your schedule and availability. The activities they work on with the kids are skill building and fun!
Response from the owner:Thank you Min Min!!
All of our kids, ages 1,3,5, get seen at the location on Anderson Ferry Road. But I’m here to say my child went from in his own world completely silent, missing milestones to using words, some sentences and making more progress than we could have hoped for. Our other kids get seen to ensure we’re keeping them on track with their development, brace needs, speech devices, speech issues and daily living. It’s all covered and provides so much insight from the after therapy report after pickup. We find them the most helpful so we can take what their learning and use it directly at home. We love ABC Pediatric Therapy AFR on the westside. They help our family meet milestones and make progress.
Response from the owner:Wow! Love seeing all that progress! Thank you for sharing! Keep up the great work as clearly you are a wonderful parent ensuring your children reach their fullest potential!
Matt and the team at Ivy were fantastic. Prior to knee meniscus surgery, I went in for strengthening and I think that really helped me start PT back up again 48 hours post-surgery. Recovery was supposed to be 5-6 weeks but I played soccer again 3 weeks after surgery and by 5-6 weeks was back to playing multiple times a week. I don't believe that would have happened without the Ivy team. Soup to nuts: scheduling, communication, exercise programs, getting the attention I needed etc etc. All of it was great.

I dont really want to need PT again but if I did, I know where I'm going.

I’ve worked with several of the therapists at this Ivyrehab location and the Fulton Street one for three separate issues—knee, hip, and shoulder—and I can’t recommend them enough. Matt (Flatbush location) is upbeat, encouraging, and truly knowledgeable. He listens, shows genuine empathy, and provides clear at-home exercises to complement the in-clinic sessions. He also followed up to check on my progress, which made a huge difference. Thanks to Matt, I was back to my usual routine as quickly as possible. If you’re looking for a PT who really cares and gets results, Matt and Ivy Rehab are the place to go!

This is such a great place to receive physical therapy! I've used other places before, but this time I was mainly looking for a place that was close to work for me. Being that Ivy was less than 1/2 mile away, I chose them. I am glad I did, as the people at this location are fantastic! My need for physical therapy stemmed from injuries due to a deer/vehicle accident – Ivy worked with my auto insurance and never asked me to pay up front & get reimbursed or for a back up payment method on file. When you step inside, you are greeted by Brooklyn, who always welcomes everyone by name with a smiling face & great attitude. The facility looks very professional and up to date. All three therapists, Emily, Kyle & Hayley are all fantastic and put their own personal touch & wisdom into their treatment. They also strive to engage patients in many ways… a question of the week, March-Madness brackets & mind bender puzzles over the machines to occupy your mind instead of focusing on the work-out. If you need physical therapy, I highly recommend checking out the Comstock Park Ivy Rehab facility! You will be impressed with the kindness & professionalism of the staff and the service you receive.

I was so happy to discover this very convenient location for occupational therapy following an arm injury. Leslie is FANTASTIC, very talented, and she really cares. She got my arm back into shape quickly – and she gives fantastic massages as a part of therapy! Everyone working here is professional and in a good mood. Definitely recommend!

I've developed a good feeling , about my physical therapy sessions !
Doctor "Joe" has applied techniques , THAT ARE HELPING ME!
He participates , in my treatments ,and he DEMONSTRATES , the exercises HIMSELF (not just telling me). "Watch How I Do It" , he will say! Seeing is Believing & I'm more confident , after SEEING HIM , DO what he is asking ME to do! Another remarkable aspect, of my progress, is "Dry Needling" ! I am DECLARING , that this treatment , in combination with a focused stretching routine, IS HELPING ME !
I'm also appreciative , for the guidance & help offered by "Holly", who is the other therapist, on the Excel Team – I'm happy that I have the opportunity , to avail myself , of their genuine Caring, Knowledge, Training and Attentiveness , that they DELIBERATLY OFFER , in my behalf – My Chronic Spine Pain , is becoming more tolerable and I'm ENJOYING , that FEELING of PROGRESS !
THANK YOU , to the entire Excel Team, for Helping Me – "Luke"

Aaron is an excellent therapist. My teenage son was very involved in the process, and Aaron’s professional, patient-oriented approach made a big difference. He provided practical advice and helpful tips on staying fit. Highly recommend!

I’ve gone to IVY physical therapy for a few years now. I go in my back act up. I do the physical therapy because I do not want surgery and I do not want shots. And the physical therapy that they give me works. They gave me a list of exercises to do at home, which I do but sometimes life just gets in the way and I can’t do it and I need a jumpstart. So the doctor sends me to physical therapy to do it all over again. I have spinal stenosis in my lower back. They helped me so much they Understand when I explain things to them. And the people are just great they’re friendly. They’re courteous. They’re helpful.
