PT Testimonial
"I was working with a patient who fractured her foot and developed bad Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). When she first started PT, her foot was so sensitive that she could barely stand her bedsheet touching it. When it was time to start walking, she was absolutely terrified of putting weight through her foot. I was able to use the Alter-G to off-load her weight and help her build confidence with weightbearing. After about a month of progressing, she was able to walk several miles at a time with no pain at 100% body weight."
