Accident and Injury Rehab Center is committed to offering effective and modern rehabilitation techniques to help our patients recover from accidents and injuries. Among our advanced services is Unweighing System Therapy, a transformative treatment approach that enables patients to safely regain mobility, restore balance, and rebuild strength during their recovery process.
If you are dealing with pain or reduced mobility, the unweighing system may be the missing piece in your rehabilitation plan. This therapy uses specialized equipment that reduces the amount of body weight placed on your lower extremities during movement, making it easier and safer to perform physical activities.
An unweighing system is a rehabilitation tool that allows the patient to perform low-impact kinetic exercises without pain or risk of injury. Typically, this system involves a treadmill combined with a suspension harness. The harness supports a portion of the patient’s body weight, allowing them to walk or run in a safe and controlled environment.
The main advantage of this system is its ability to offload weight from the lower body, making it possible for individuals with limited mobility, weakness, or pain to engage in movement. Therapists can adjust the amount of body weight supported by the system, enabling patients to start rehabilitation at a level appropriate for their condition and gradually progress over time. This equipment provides not only physical support but also psychological confidence, helping patients overcome the fear of falling or worsening their injuries.
One of the biggest challenges after an accident or surgery is resuming movement without aggravating an injury. The unweighing system provides a cost-effective and evidence-based solution by providing a safe environment for progressive, weight-bearing activity. It minimizes strain on joints and muscles while promoting active movement. The therapy benefits include:
The system provides partial body-weight support and allows patients to move earlier in their rehabilitation process, which is critical for avoiding muscle atrophy, improving circulation, and maintaining overall physical health.
With over 5 decades of collective experience, our staff brings a wealth of wisdom and insight to your injury treatment and medical documentation that supports your legal claim. Our experience and caring approach allows us to provide thorough treatment to address your injuries and get you on the road to recovery.

Walking correctly after an injury or surgery requires more than physical strength. It also requires retraining your body to move coordinated and efficiently. Many patients develop compensatory patterns to protect injured areas, which can lead to long-term biomechanical issues. The unweighing system enables patients to:
This therapy is especially valuable for individuals recovering from neurological conditions such as strokes, as it allows them to practice proper walking techniques without the risk of falls.
Unweighing system therapy is ideal for a wide range of injuries and conditions. Some of the most common include:
Many medical conditions require a phased return to full weight-bearing. These include:
In all these cases, the unweighing system provides a safe way to reintroduce weight-bearing activity in a controlled and progressive manner.
You will walk or jog on a treadmill during your session while the unweighing harness supports your upper body. Your therapist will guide you through specific movements or gait drills based on your rehabilitation plan. You may start with a high level of support and gradually reduce the support as your strength and mobility improve.
You’ll receive real-time feedback and adjustments to help ensure safe and effective movement. Each session is focused on achieving measurable progress toward your rehabilitation goals.
Recovery is a journey, and every patient has unique goals. Our therapists work closely with you to set short- and long-term objectives with our dynamic unweighing, anti-gravity systems —whether walking independently, returning to work, or getting back to sports. Progress is tracked through regular assessments and goal reviews to keep you motivated and moving forward.
There are several types of unweighing systems available in clinical and therapeutic settings. At Accident and Injury Rehab Center, we use state-of-the-art equipment that offers:
Our team evaluates your medical condition, mobility status, and rehabilitation goals before determining the appropriate system settings. We believe that successful therapy depends on the right tools used by experienced professionals.
Although the unweighing system is designed to be safe and user-friendly, it is essential that patients only use it under the guidance of trained rehabilitation professionals. Improper use of the equipment or incorrect support settings can hinder recovery or potentially cause harm.
At Accident and Injury Rehab Center, all unweighing therapy sessions are overseen by licensed physical therapists. We ensure that each patient receives care aligned with their diagnosis, goals, and physical abilities.
