AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill
Advanced Recovery Technology
At Oceanside Physical Therapy, we integrate the latest science-backed tools to help you heal faster, move confidently, and prevent long-term complications after surgery.
Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) Therapy
Our clinic uses Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) Therapy to accelerate recovery and minimize muscle loss after surgery. This innovative approach allows patients to safely strengthen muscles using light resistance—reducing joint strain while stimulating growth and endurance.
During treatment, a specialized cuff system partially restricts blood flow to targeted muscle groups, triggering the same physiological response as heavy lifting. The result: increased strength and faster recovery, even during the earliest stages of rehab.
BFR is especially beneficial for patients recovering from:
-
ACL or knee reconstruction
-
Hip or shoulder surgery
-
Post-fracture or immobilization recovery
-
Muscle atrophy following extended rest
Bryan Graham, Blood Flow Restriction Certified (BFR-C) through Owens Recovery Science, personally oversees each program to ensure proper technique and safety.
AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill
We also offer the AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill to help patients walk and move earlier in recovery—without pain or pressure on healing joints. This technology reduces body-weight impact by up to 80%, making it ideal for knee, hip, ankle, or foot surgery rehabilitation.
Together, these advanced tools help patients regain strength, mobility, and confidence faster than traditional methods alone.
Squid Compression & Cold Therapy
To manage post-surgical pain and inflammation, Oceanside Physical Therapy uses Squid Compression & Cold Therapy—a powerful combination of cold and dynamic compression that speeds healing and improves comfort after surgery.
The Squid system delivers deep, targeted cooling while gently compressing the treatment area, helping to:
-
Reduce swelling and inflammation
-
Decrease soreness and stiffness
-
Promote faster tissue recovery
-
Improve overall circulation and comfort during rehab
This therapy is especially helpful after joint surgeries or soft-tissue repairs, where controlling inflammation is key to healing successfully and regaining range of motion.

Hear About A Real Recovery Journey
“Oceanside PT is by far the best PT office I’ve ever been to. Not only is it a comfortable atmosphere, but the staff is extremely friendly & educated in their field and I couldn’t be more appreciative of everything they’ve done for me. They’ve helped and guided me in my rehab through hip surgery as well as some other injuries for several months and have never steered me in the wrong direction. 11/10 recommend for anyone seeking some physical therapy in/around the area!”
