Anti-Gravity Technology for Pain-free Rehab
from Potton Nov 2020
by Villager Mag
Our anti-gravity treadmill allows you to walk, run, build strength, and recover from injury and surgery in a comfortable, pain-free, and supportive environment. It can be used as part of a treatment session or on a pay-as-you-go basis as part of a progressive plan. The Alter-G cleverly ‘unweights’ you down to as little as 20% of your bodyweight where there is little or no pain and more normal movement is possible. This is the key to improving strength and function. • Problems with bones and joints – arthritis, stress fractures and major injuries • Muscle, tendon and ligament injuries • Prep for, and recovery from surgery • Neurological, degenerative and progressive lifelong conditions When you work with us at the Rehab Hub you have the support of our knowledgeable and caring team of Practitioners, all focused on helping you be your best.

What’s That Oxygen Therapy About?
It is amazing how many people feel better through breathing pure oxygen. At Hertfordshire Multiple Sclerosis Therapy Centre, in Letchworth, we have been doing Oxygen Therapy for 32 years. We have helped thousands of people with MS, Parkinson’s, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, leg ulcers, bedsores, and cancer. People visit us from Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire... and Europe! Oxygen Therapy means breathing pure oxygen under gentle pressure enabling our bodies to absorb a higher proportion of the oxygen we breath. (Normal air has about 21% oxygen.) During Oxygen Therapy, people breathe in almost five times as much oxygen as usual, so oxygen levels carried around their bodies should be higher too. Often that extra oxygen helps the body to reduce pain, fight infection, increase energy levels and speed up the body’s natural healing processes. It can accelerate recovery from an operation and is used by athletes to improve performance. We have the only Oxygen Chamber in Hertfordshire. It seats up to seven people and is like a small tube train carriage. Each person wears a mask that supplies the medical grade oxygen. Our team shows you everything you need to know. All sessions are run by two staff following strict safety procedures (including keeping everyone Covid-safe). Many of our oxygen sessions are run by trained volunteers. If you know someone who can help us for 2 hours a week ask them to contact us at volunteering@hmstc.net We are delighted to see oxygen helping so many people… and are very clear that it does not work for everyone. It is a natural therapy, without the side effects of prescription drugs. Talk to us about what you hope Oxygen Therapy might help you with by emailing oxygen@hmstc.net. Or call us on 01462 684 214.
