Boost Treadmill
The Boost is a micro gravity treadmill. Air pressure removes impact, which allows for longer, safer and more sustained lower body movement. LOR Physical Therapy offers it in Laguna Niguel for people who need to move more than their joints can currently take.
What to expect from the Boost treadmill
The practice lists four benefits.
- Improved joint mobility
- Delay in the progression of osteoarthritis
- Reduced risk of re-injury
- Overspeed training
Who it can help
Taking weight off the joints lets people walk and run through rehab sooner and for longer. It suits people recovering from lower-body injuries and surgery, people with arthritis in the knee or hip, and runners who need to keep training while an injury heals. Your therapist decides if it fits your plan.
