The G-Move is an innovative device designed to enhance muscle recovery, circulation, and performance during rehabilitation. Used primarily on the upper and lower legs, the G-Move utilises a method known as active pressotherapy, which is a combination of compression and movement therapy, to maximise the benefits of physical rehabilitation and exercise.
By delivering intermittent or constant pressure to the legs during exercise, the G-Move helps stimulate several key physiological responses. One of its main benefits is enhanced fluid drainage, which can reduce swelling and the sensation of heaviness in the legs. This is particularly helpful for individuals experiencing reduced circulation, lymphedema, or prolonged immobility.
The device also significantly improves blood flow and oxygen delivery to the working muscles. Increased circulation supports faster muscle recovery, reduces fatigue, and boosts overall muscle function. As a result, the G-Move is particularly useful for individuals recovering from injury or surgery, and for athletes seeking to accelerate recovery post-training.
Another important feature of the G-Move is its ability to enhance proprioception, your body’s awareness of limb position and movement. The compression enhances sensory feedback from the legs, allowing users to feel more stable and in control during movement. This can improve strength, balance, and coordination, all critical components in effective neuro and musculoskeletal rehabilitation.
The G-Move also offers occlusion therapy, applying higher pressure to temporarily restrict blood flow to muscles during exercise. This method, known to increase muscle hypertrophy and strength, allows individuals to train at lower loads with greater benefits. This makes it ideal for those with limitations that prevent heavy resistance training, such as older adults, post-operative clients, or individuals with neurological conditions.
Our team of specialist Physiotherapists PhysioFunction, can assess your needs and determine the most appropriate settings based on your condition and goals. Used as part of a tailored rehabilitation plan, the G-Move can lead to quicker recovery, stronger muscles, enhanced balance, and ultimately improved physical function, helping you regain independence and achieve your personal rehabilitation goals.
We have used the G-Move Suit with a wide range of patients living with and recovering from incomplete SCI, Stroke, Brain Injury, Cerebral Palsy and Parkinson’s.
