Product Description:

​

Gravity Therapy is a health rehabilitation start up company dedicated to bringing safe, low-cost therapy to persons with limited movement.  It provides a passive state of the art, NASA proven, centrifuge system that speeds healing and reduces recovery costs.

​

If persons don’t move in gravity they will suffer the same zero gravity rapid aging as astronauts.  

​

Gravity Therapy is an effective, painless, passive treatment that speeds up healing for all types of injuries, surgery, illness, disabled, inactive, aging and immobile persons, especially for those with complications that limit or prevent moving or walking.

In addition to muscle and bone loss gravity deprivation compromises numerous body functions that include cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, metabolic, neural and primarily neuro-vestibular medicated functions.

​

This treatment has proven success in the space program and other credible research studies.

​

To date the high cost of centrifuges used in the space program has prevented the transfer of this beneficial technology to earth.  Dr. Joan Vernikos, a former NASA scientist, and her team have found the answer to reduce these costs. 

​

They have simplified the construction and operation of the centrifuge   with battery driven wireless control that provides the needed modes of operation, that includes start, stop, reverse, variable speed and regenerative braking.

​

This new unique technology has enabled our team to provide the needed versatility to the centrifuge’s operation that provides a simple, safe, low cost system for rehabilitation, health and fitness maintenance. It also provides variable levels of hypergravity to benefit persons of all ages, lowers treatment costs as well as providing passive exertion for users at all levels of disability and health. 

​

The Gravity Therapy centrifuge system is fully developed with Intellectual Property, is safe, cost effective and ready to market.


The system is designed for use at a rehabilitation center, hospital, nursing home, senior care, gym, sport center or home, etc.

Dr-Joan-Vernikos-centrifuge

She has conducted seminal studies in space medicine, inactivity physiology, stress and healthy aging. Her pioneering studies on how space flight and earth’s gravity affect men and women includes ways to keep astronauts healthy in the weightlessness of space and upon re-introduction to earth’s gravity. Thus work also included working with John Glenn on his return from space at 77 years of age in 1990 and serving on planning teams to provide gravity to exploration missions. 

​

She has written several award winning books that present a comprehensive explanation of why Americans are so unhealthy and delivers the solution, an easy to follow, scientifically plan to restore Americans health. She also has a web site, “Third Age Health”, that promotes better health and wellness.
