We use the AlterG (Anti-gravity treadmill) at our Akers location for many types of patients. It allows them to move without pain and restore normal gait mechanics. With the ability to decrease weight bearing with exercise or walking from 100% unweighting to 20% of body weight, we are able to help people return to pain free movement much more quickly! ... This patient underwent Achilles Tendon Repair and has been working on walking without her boot. The AlterG allows her to perform normal mechanics without a limp. Her therapist, Kylee, can progressively increase her weight bearing per her rehab protocol, until she is eventually moving normally and pain free after surgery!

We pride ourselves on having specialized equipment to fit all of our patients’ needs. Here, one of our patients is using the Core Align to help improve posture, balance and functional mobility. Our therapists use the Core Align to promote firing of core and trunk stabilizer muscles with functional activities, while also being able to stretch and strengthen. It’s an excellent piece of equipment for various types of issues, including back pain, scoliosis and injuries of the hi...ps, knees, ankles and shoulders. We would love to know what piece of equipment do you feel has helped you most in your past rehab and recovery?

Thank you Nichols Farms for the amazing pistachios and recognizing essential healthcare workers at Kaweah Delta Medical Center and our Therapy Specialists clinics!
