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."

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."

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."

Physical
Therapist Says Orbiter Treadmill Helps Patients Get Back On Their 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 Treadmill 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."

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
(3) more weeks, four (4) weeks after my surgery. But if I was not using
an
Orbiter to wait eleven (11) more weeks, twelve (12) 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
endometriosis and
related problems such as I have had."

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 of people with injured
and post surgical hips,
knees, ankles, feet, back and that manner of injured areas which allows
for rehabilitation with low impact in their programs."

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 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."
