Do you have pain while running?  McMinnville Physical Therapy’s licensed physical therapists are trained to prevent or manage common running injuries with an individualized treatment plan. The therapist will assess your running gait pattern and educate you on proper footwear, exercises, and stretches to help you improve mobility, manage pain, recover from injury and prevent future injuries. 

​

McMinnville Physical Therapy's top of the line AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill may be utilized during your treatment. AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmills use innovative Differential Air Pressure (DAP) technology that enables unprecedented unweighting therapy and training capabilities. A pressurized “anti-gravity” chamber counteracts gravitational forces, gently adjusting body weight from 100% down to as low as 20% with unparalleled precision. This uniform lifting force reduces impact, pain, and effort. All while supporting normal gait and balance – and encouraging full, free range of motion and natural movement.

 

Who are anti-gravity treadmills for?

• Patients- Recover from injury or surgery, manage a neurological condition, relieve the burden of excessive weight or deconditioning from illness or disease.

• Seniors- Age actively and maintain or regain strength and endurance in a supportive, fall-safe environment.

• Athletes- Start rehab sooner, train while protecting or recovering from an injury or surgery, increase training volume while minimizing stress-related injuries.

• Achilles Tendinitis
