Memorial Community Health, Inc. (MCHI) in Aurora, Nebraska is pleased to announce the addition of a Boost Microgravity Treadmill to Memorial Rehabilitation’s range of services. This state-of-the-art equipment offers a new rehabilitation option available right here in the community, helping patients reach their goals of recovering safely, comfortably, and with added support.
The Boost treadmill uses air pressure technology to reduce the amount of body weight a person feels while walking or running. By easing the impact on joints and muscles, patients are able to begin therapy earlier, exercise with less pain, and progress toward their recovery goals with greater confidence. This makes it especially beneficial for individuals recovering from orthopedic surgery, athletes with sports-related injuries, patients with neurological conditions, and those managing chronic pain or arthritis.
“We are excited to bring this innovative technology to our patients,” says Brad Bangs, PT and Director of Memorial Rehabilitation. “The Boost treadmill allows people to stay active and rebuild strength in a safe, controlled environment. It gives our patients the ability to walk or run without the fear of pain or reinjury, which can make a big difference in both their physical progress and their overall outlook on recovery.”
About the Boost Microgravity Treadmill:
The Boost treadmill works by creating a pressurized environment around the lower body that supports a portion of a person’s weight. This “unweighting” effect can be adjusted to match each patient’s needs, allowing therapists to gradually increase weight-bearing as recovery progresses.
- The treadmill is commonly used to:
- Support safe walking and mobility after surgery (such as hip or knee replacement)
- Aid in the recovery of sports-related injuries
- Improve balance and gait for patients with neurological conditions
- Reduce strain for individuals with arthritis or chronic pain conditions
