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.

They are amazing here. Tyler knows his stuff, helps you to feel better, get stronger, and do your own exercises at home. Everyone there is friendly and knowledgeable. My teen age daughter has been going there through different sports injuries and always wants to go which is saying a lot!

Shashank Mishra at Flatbush Ave helped me enormously. I came in with a fractured shoulder, extremely anxious, and he was very knowledgeable and compassionate and put my mind at ease. He pushed me to move without being aggressive, and over the course of 4 months I saw enormous progress. I really don't think I would have recovered as well as I did without his help. I also appreciate the professionalism of the whole Ivy Rehab group. Everything was very well-organized and they were able to work with my insurance seamlessly.

First visit for lower back pain went well. I believe AK's hands are magical and he dug deep into my 65 year old beat up back and gave me relief. I'm looking foward to my next visit because I'm tired of being in pain… And no he didn't pay me for this review…

My son is 4 and has had extreme behavior issues. They have helped with him academically since he was behind and they have helped him gain ways to show his emotions in a more healthy way. I am grateful for all they have done for him. In just the few short months we have been going there I can see a a change in him. So has his daycare/school. At the beginning of this he was on the verge of getting kicked out of daycare because of his outbursts. Now I barely if ever get a bad report or a phone call telling me to come get him.
Response from the owner:Thank you Brittany for your kind words. Thank you for trusting us in the care of your child!
Every single person I have encountered at Theraplay has had my child’s best interest at heart. They are all compassionate, kind, educated in their field, and the love they have for children just pours out of them at every interaction. When I mention the services my daughter receives at theraplay, I always highly recommend this facility. Thank you all so much!
Response from the owner:Heather–comments like these from parents and families like yours are so encouraging to hear. Our teams are very passionate about what they do, so it's wonderful to hear that that passion translates into positive and fun sessions, and that then turns into therapy goals being reached. You're the reason we love doing what we do 🙂
This is the second injury that I have had to go back, no words can explain how wonderful, uplifting, positive just beyond welcoming. This is the best place to be for getting back on the right track with your injury. Can’t thank them enough Tyler, Adam, Emily, Bree and if you want a laugh Kathleen 😊❤️ p.s 5 stars is not enough 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I've been struggling with a bulging disc and sciatica pain radiating down my leg for almost a year now. At times, it was so painful I couldn't even walk more than a block, and getting a full night's sleep was impossible with the pain. At first I tried Spear for physical therapy—my first time in PT ever—and it just wasn't for me. While my care was okay, it reminded me of my college gym—a place for athletes (not me) that felt sort of clique-y. After a few months, I switched to Park Sports PT, and oh my god, night and day difference. My PT, Megan, and I immediately started talking about musicals and I could tell the vibe was so much more welcoming. I also noticed how much more carefully she watched my form while exercising, and gave me corrections. She also gave me manual treatments (Theragun and soft tissue massage), which my previous PT had never done and has made a big difference in how much I'm able to accomplish during my appointments. It's been almost five months now since starting at Park Sports, and I'm doing so much better—I'm a few weeks from graduating! I couldn't recommend the team more, not only Megan but the whole team (shout out to Amelia, Tyra, Taden, Ellis, and Emanuel!). Not only was my physical therapy itself excellent, but they helped guide me through two epidural steroid injections and are helping me with a game plan for what's next when I graduate. Truly a 10/10 experience!

Ivy Therapy of Mount Olive is one of the best physical therapy centers that I have ever been to. The staff is amazing, they made me feel comfortable right from the moment I walked in the door and that feeling surrounds me right up until I am finished with my appointment and leaving. Although there’s a set routine set up for me, if I’m having some sort of issues with my recovery they always have an alternative way of working things into my session in order that I am still getting the full benefit from my therapy, but not having any discomfort whatsoever. The staff is incredible, they all work together as a close knit team and once there for a just a short period of time, it gave me a feeling of family which is kind of rare these days.

We took our daughter here to see Miss Kathleen starting just after she turned two. Due to a year of her life being during the COVID shut down, she was behind on her speech. Since starting she’s gone from barely speaking to now using full sentences (6 months later). We’ve been very happy with the therapy and have learned a lot from Kathleen on how to help at home. Highly recommend!
Before knee replacement surgery I needed to choose a physical therapist. I wanted one close to home since I would need to be driven by family 3 times a week for several weeks. Ivy Rehab was fairly new and close to my home so I chose them. Christine greeted me with a smile every visit. I was blown away by the care, patience, knowledge and expertise the physical therapists, Steve and Alex, showed me. They worked me hard but never more then I could handle. The space is clean and well equipped. My sessions were 1 hour but if I was struggling they never hesitated to spend extra time with me. I couldn’t have gotten my mobility back without their encouragement and positive attitudes. I’m so grateful I chose Ivy Rehab and highly recommended them.

Both therapists (Steve and Alex) are great! I went in with several non-specific issues ("it hurts but scans say nothing is wrong"). They evaluated my movement, listened to my description, and identified potential issues. They explained everything as we worked through the issues. I am very happy to say that I can do things now that I haven't been able to do in over a decade. I am so glad I found them. Excellent!

I had a total left knee replacement 1 month ago. I did 2 weeks of in patient physical therapy after surgery. I signed up with Ivy last week. After only 2 days of PT with Ivy, my knee feels better than it has felt for a month. The staff is very knowledgeable. Alex and Anthony are kind, respectful and professional. I'm so glad I signed with Ivy Rehab. They get 5 Stars in my book.

I was under the tender and professional care of these good folks for 3 and a half months. They had quite a challenge helping me with both my ankle and knee post-surgery. Yet their patience, warmth, and expertise made the experience not only pleasant but successful. I'm amazed at how much I progressed and what I'm able to do now. If you're faced with the need for PT, I HIGHLY recommend the therapists in Kempsville. Wonderful, caring, and they know what they're doing!!

I had a great experience at Ivy Rehab on Washington as I was rehabbing an ankle injury. The whole staff from the front desk to the aides and physical therapists were very kind and friendly. Lauryn was a great physical therapist and was able to pin-point my pain areas. She was able to develop and modify exercises that helped speed along my healing process. I would definitely recommend using Ivy Rehab going forward.

I was in pain with sciatica when I arrived at All-Care. My PT Rudy used all the tools in his PT bag and was able to make my pain go away. He also advised me on what exercises to do at home. I was able to attend an out of town wedding and even joined in the dancing. I would highly recommend All-Care PT and my fabulous PT Rudy.

I saw Brittany for pelvic floor PT today. Not only did she put me at ease, but she was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. I just wish I had known about her services 14 years ago. Highly recommend!
