Eamonn Holmes shared his 'latest exploit' to aid his mobility amid his crippling health battle, on Wednesday.
The GB News host, 64, posted a video of himself using an Alter G anti-gravity treadmill, which helps his 'legs and body move like it did before' his injury.
The presenter is still recovering from the surgery and an injury to his shoulder, which saw him takes four months off work at the end of last year.
Eamonn captioned his post: 'Trying to remember what it felt like to have legs that worked.'
As he filmed himself on the machine, he said: 'Hello there. This is my latest exploit. This is what's called an anti-gravity treadmill. It's an Alter G anti-gravity treadmill.

And the reason it's called anti-gravity is you'll see down here... I'm being supported by quite a big balloon.
'And the balloon holds my weight. What it does really, the machine, if I now walk or run in this, and it helps my legs and my body remember what it was like to move like this before things went wrong, that have been wrong for a long time.
'So this gives me a certain amount of freedom and the idea is that I build up muscle memory and y'know things will happen, hopefully in the future.
'For the moment, I'll do half an hour on this. Cheers!'
The Alter G treadmill inflates from the waist down giving you a weightless feeling as you walk or run with as little as 20% of your bodyweight, making it a lot more comfortable to exercise.
It follows when Eamonn was pictured out in public using a walking frame, following his split from wife Ruth Langsford.
The presenter uses a wheelchair due to chronic back pain as well as undergoing painful physio sessions.
Speaking in January he said the 'harsh reality' could be that he may never be able to walk unaided again.

But Eamonn recently shared a photo of himself dressed smartly and stood of his own volition leaning against a door frame as his rehabilitation continues.
He captioned the post: 'Hard to stand up but next my aim is to walk. Off to a birthday party today. What about you?'.
In 2016, Eamonn underwent a double-hip replacement operation lasting three-and-a-quarter hours after living with acute pain for many years.
Speaking about his operation at the time, Eamonn said: ' Was I nervous? No! It was just like being on television. In the build-up I was stressed — can I do this? Will I handle it?'
Two years later, Eamonn detailed his battle with shingles and how he was struck with the virus on his son Declan's wedding day.
During an appearance on Loose Women in September 2021, he spoke about his health battle which left him unable to work on This Morning three years ago.
He also shared images of his puffy face covered in marks and scabs during his battle.
Shingles is a viral rash caused by varicella zoster virus, the virus which causes chickenpox, being reactivated. In the UK, 90 per cent of adults have had chickenpox, so will have this virus lying dormant in their nervous systems.
