Anti-Gravity treadmill
Our Anti-Gravity treadmill (Alter-G) uses NASA Differential Air Pressure technology to adjust the weight-bearing load, which means you can rehabilitate a specific injury with low-impact and pain-free movement.
Use of the Anti-Gravity treadmill may be included within your sports rehabilitation appointment.
Please email sportsclinic@kent.ac.uk if you would like to use the Anti-Gravity treadmill for your organisation.
"I am grateful for the support of staff and the great facilities; using the Alter-G has allowed me to walk and exercise." - We supported James Barter with his Friedreich's ataxia
