At LifeMotion, unloaded exercise therapy is a major tool we use to treat musculoskeletal pain. This therapy uses machines and devices to reduce the impact of gravity on the body during movement and exercise, enabling you to perform movements not possible due to pain. This promotes natural healing while preparing the body for heavier loads. And it’s more comfortable than traditional therapy due to the reduced pressure on your body!
This form of exercise therapy can be performed in a variety of ways for many common injuries to speed up recovery, including after joint replacement. Unloaded exercise can be combined with other treatments, such as blood flow restriction training, to restore strength and improve functional outcomes. We offer a variety of unloaded exercise therapies, including Total Gym machines for pain-free squats, pulley systems for pain-free reaching, Reformer Pilates machines for jumping, and the AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill for walking and running.
We say feeling is believing when experiencing this form of therapy. If you are hurting, don’t wait – make an appointment today!
