Takes a percentage of weight off the player, so they can start running with less load on their joints and injuries…. I think. Get the parts moving but without full weight on them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think. Get the parts moving but without full weight on them. I don’t think it’s supporting his body weight. I think it’s pressurising the air around his leg muscles. Compression therapy is supposed to help reduce inflammation. Most people just wear a compression sock though Edited December 15, 2022 by LondonLax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 (edited) It’s an anti gravity device - Quote Toronto Physiotherapy is the first clinic in Toronto to offer the AlterG anti-gravity treadmill. Originally developed by NASA, the AlterG uses differential air-pressure to enable users to run or walk at reduced body weight, while maintaining a normal gait pattern. The AlterG is currently available at our Danforth clinic. https://torontophysiotherapy.ca/services/alterg-anti-gravity-treadmill/ Edited December 15, 2022 by Sulberto21 Anti gravity not zero gravity 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miles off given the last few pages of comments on recovery time on here. He isn't near training with the first team, or even with a ball from any of the released media covering him recently. I'd say a February return at the earliest is the best we can hope for, but would be delighted to be proven wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No man I wasn’t laughing. Was just picking out the obvious attraction to star players. Our treadmill game is going to be what separates us from the likes of United.

I think. Get the parts moving but without full weight on them. The theory behind it is that when you run/sprint you can put up to 10/12 times your body weight in force into the ground, so Carlos who is probably 85kg could put up to 1000kg of force into the ground. With the type of injury, the machine reduces the force (weight on legs as above) to take the pressure of the legs. They then slowly over a few weeks build the force back up to 100% to get the adaptation on the athlete. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philosopher Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Leon Bailey stated clearly the facilities were a major factor in his decision to join Villa. The money in the prem means a few teams have similar facilities, but the coninent is different only the very top teams boast similar. And yes our facilities put us ahead of Man U in that regard. We recently built a new performance centre, then upgraded if further to emulate the facilities they have in American football. Our facilities are right up there. The owners are building a world class foundation of which the expansion to Villa Park is the culmination of. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
