Allternative Gym is the pioneer in strength training while utilizing the Adeli Suit. While other centers are trained in a "method" of treatment Allternative Gym customizes each exercise routine to fit the individual's specific needs and goals. Our Intensive Suit therapy sessions consist of 4/5 hours a day, in which 90-120 minutes are in the Adeli Suit, 5 days a week for 3-4 weeks of rehabilitation. Allternative Gym will always have a two on one ratio while working in the Adeli suit and during other modalities when applicable. The Adeli Suit consists of a vest, shorts, knee pads and shoes that are connected by bungees that attach over the major muscles to help promote proper alignment and feedback.

The ADELI suit, originally designed for the Russian space program, offered cosmonauts (in a weightless setting for extended periods) the "compression resistance" their bodies needed to preserve muscle tone.

The suits, composed of bungee-like bands, help put a body (one with limited motor control) into proper alignment. With a cerebral palsy patient, for instance, the muscles don't know how to work. By performing precise and intensive movements, we "retrain" the brain to build new pathways. Repetition builds strength along with correct patterns of muscle movement.

Only a handful of facilities in the world have the Adeli Suit and Allternative Gym is one of them!
