Patient Testimonial

"The AlterG is amazing! In March when I started, I had to goal to run again after hip surgery in June 2014. Starting at 40%, I gingerly began running. Each week I added 5%, inching closer to my goal. Today, I ran for 20 minutes at 100%! I have not done that since October 2013 when I finished my 2nd marathon. Without the AlterG, I'm not sure I'd have the courage to try running again, but it's an activity I love! Thanks for helping me get my running legs back!" Marcie Jannetti
