AlterG Treadmill

The AlterG is a revolutionary approach to rehabilitation and training that can be an essential training tool in any runner’s program. The AlterG’s unique unweighting technology is one you won’t find available anywhere else for public use in the Portland/Lake Oswego area! On this treadmill, you have the ability to reduce the percentage of body weight you would like to run at depending on your goals. Its unweighting ability can also reduce the impact of walking or running, giving post-operative and post-injury patients the opportunity to rehabilitate and resume training earlier than ever before.

Many professional athletes and teams throughout the country are now utilizing the AlterG for both rehabilitation and training. Here at L.O. Physical Therapy you have the opportunity to use one yourself. The Alter-G has many different uses and can be incorporated into both rehab and training programs. 

Benefits of the AlterG treadmill for athletes:

• Enhance performance while minimizing impact
• Increase training volume and minimize stress-related injuries
• Maximize fitness retention during rehabilitation

Triathlete Magazine recently published an article about the Alter G and the professional athletes who have used it as a recovery tool and as a part of their regular training regimens, including low-intensity interval training, overspeed training, and hill training.
