Orbiter Treadmill Speeds Knee and Leg Injury Recovery For
Olympian "The injuries I have sustained over the past few
years - especially my latest knee and leg injuries - have
made it a challenge to recover and get myself in the best
possible shape to compete in the 2002 Olympic Games. I
couldn't believe it! Shortly after my latest injuries, I was
able to recover and work out on the ORBITER without pain,
while pain kept me from using a regular treadmill. The
ORBITER low impact treadmill has played a key role in
speeding up my recovery, as well as continuing my ongoing
training program. I have benefited greatly from the
ORBITER's low impact surface and hope other athletes have
the opportunity to do the same." Picabo Street Olympic Gold Medal Ski

Orbiter Treadmill Gives Fresh Legs and Eliminates Leg Pain
for Pro Baseball Hall of Famer "After a year of running on our Orbiter my wife and I
have found that it has eliminated the hard rigorous pounding
and joint pain of running on a track or other treadmills.
The cardiovascular workout is also greater. My wife loves
the Orbiter and uses it at least four days a week with great
results. Due to my high activity level, especially in
tennis, I feel that training on the Orbiter gives me fresh
legs for the hard surfaces I encounter. I would highly
recommend the Orbiter to anyone who wants a great workout
with low impact on their joints." Joe Morgan Hall Of Fame Professional

Physical Therapy Patient with Bulging Disks and
Sciatica
"I Could Immediately Tell The Difference . . ." "I began therapy about two months ago. I have two bulging
disks and sciatica in both legs. I could immediately feel
the difference when I started walking on the Orbiter
treadmill as opposed to walking on pavement, or other
treadmills. In therapy I perform extension exercises and
have daily walks on the Orbiter. I know I would not be doing
as well as I am if I was not walking on the Orbiter. My back
especially needs the walking exercise, but my leg pain is
made many times worse by walking on hard surfaces. Along
with the McKensie exercises, the Orbiter treadmill is the
foundation of my recovery process. My hope is that the
Orbiter might someday be made available in a home
version."

Physical Therapist Says Orbiter Treadmill Helps Patients
Get Back On Feet Faster "Over the past
10 weeks we have been tracking our patient population and
have the observations regarding the Orbiter Treadmill. The
Orbiter reduces impact of gait and therefore on the body.
Over 30% of our patients who use the Orbiter do not tolerate
other equipment for aerobic exercise and would not be able
to get an aerobic workout. Patients with Achilles and
Patellar tendonitis enjoy prolonged walking and running
without inflammation. Post surgical and fractured feet get
walking 50% sooner on the Orbiter than has been our history.
Long-standing and severe dysfunction in the spine has
limited some patients from aerobic exercise for years until
we were able to offer them the Orbiter. The remaining
patients who utilize the Orbiter are functionally able to
utilize and tolerate our other equipment but use the Orbiter
because they prefer it over the other equipment. Our patient
population chooses the Orbiter over our other treadmills 95%
of the time. Post-surgical knee patients and athletes are
happy to progress more quickly into high level weight
bearing and running activities with the Orbiter. Even our
high level functioning patient groups, such as the avid
runners, report getting an extra challenging workout on the
Orbiter."

Three Plus Hours Running On Orbiter Treadmill With No Joint
Pain "I ran on the Orbiter for three hours and fifteen
minutes, about twenty miles. I was tired at the end of the
run but really had no soreness or muscle pain. I did not
have any joint pain whatsoever that day, or the next day
which is a significant difference from the amount of joint
discomfort I usually feel even after a fifteen to eighteen
mile run."

Clinic Uses Orbiter Treadmill To Rehab Hips, Knees, Ankles,
Feet, Back "Thank you for the Orbiter that I purchased approximately
6 years ago - it has been a great assist in our physical
therapy clinic for all manner of injured patients. It has
been of great worth as a low impact unit for rehab for
people with hips, knees, ankles, feet, back and that manner
of injured areas which allows for rehabilitation with low
impact in their programs."

Pre and Post Surgery Exercise On Orbiter Treadmill
Abdominal Surgery: Endometriosis, Enlarged Appendix, Scarred
Fallopian Tubes "I recently had surgery to remove endometriosis. Before
my surgery, I was in considerable pain which came and went
depending on my activities. A few weeks before my surgery I
went for a slow leisurely walk in the park with my husband.
The following day I was in so much pain from the
endometriosis that I had to spend all day in bed. I went to
work the day after as most of the pain was gone.
About a week later I was introduced to the Orbiter
treadmill. It was very smooth and flowing. It felt so good
that I went against my better judgment and jogged on it for
over thirty minutes. I am a fitness walker. I hate to jog or
run, but the Orbiter felt so good I couldn't help myself.
This was the first time I can remember actually enjoying
jogging. I went home feeling great but thinking I'd be
paying the price that night and the next day with
endometriosis pain. To my surprise, I had no pain at all
that night or the next day.
In my surgery Dr. Nosaville removed the endometriosis.
He also removed an enlarged appendix and additional scar
tissue around my fallopian tubes. A week later I went in for
a check-up. Dr. Nosaville first told me to wait a minimum of
twelve weeks after the surgery to have any strenuous
exercise. It was then I told him about my experience of pain
after walking in the park, but no pain after jogging on the
Orbiter treadmill. I gave him literature on the Orbiter and
he promised to call me back later that evening after he had
reviewed it.
Dr. Nosaville said that if I was exercising on an
Orbiter, I could start in about three more weeks (four weeks
after my surgery). But if I was not using an Orbiter to wait
eleven more weeks (twelve weeks after my surgery). Thanks
for a such a super treadmill. I had no idea anything like
this even existed. I think it would definitely help other
women who have had endometriosisand related problems
such as I have had."

The Orbiter Treadmill Accelerates Rehabilitation
Protocol "Orbiter has helped us tremendously in accelerating
rehabilitation protocol. My athletes especially like the
decreased stress on their lower extremities. This is
extremely important for veteran athletes. Several of our
players, the team owner and one of his friends have also
purchased Orbiters for their homes."

Orbiter Treadmill Improves Workout Warm-Up "I warm up faster and better on the Orbiter in
preparation for weight training."
Former NFL All Pro, NFL Man of the Year, and NFL Hall of
Fame Quarterback Warren Moon
Orbiter Treadmill Better Than Advertised "The Orbiter is the only exercise machine I've seen that
really delivers what the literature promises. In fact, it's
better than advertised. On the Orbiter, I get a great
workout and I'm not stowed up for 3 days afterward, like I
am after running on the football field or on a treadmill. If
it wasn't for the Orbiter, I'd have to get my aerobic
exercise on a stationary bike. This is the first running
I've done in years; it's just too painful hard
surfaces."
