NASA technology is helping physical therapy patients recover from injury.

It's called the AlterG or anti-gravity treadmill.

It gives patients another option besides the water treadmill or harness.

Patients zip themselves into the portal, the machine calibrates their weight, fills with air, and lift-off.

Patients say taking the impact off of their joints has sped up recovery.
