This unweighting treadmill makes recovery faster and more accessible for patients who are limited in their abilities. For instance, this tool allows for more comfortable exercise. The weightlessness felt on the anti-gravity treadmill takes pressure away from the joints, which means that patients who are overweight may have a much easier and more comfortable time working out. One study by Shantanu Patil et. al.2 concluded that the use of an anti-gravity treadmill provides “controlled decrease of the joint forces and might be an effective tool in the rehabilitation of patients following lower‐extremity surgery.” Whether joints are under stress from surgery or poor joint health, the Boost Anti-Gravity Treadmill provides an easier and more comfortable way to exercise.#N#Because the treadmill makes exercise easier for all ages and body types, it has an added benefit of being able to delay the progression of osteoarthritis with movement and physical therapy.
