We’re proud to have one of the region’s only AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmills here at RTP.

We get asked all the time: “What actually is that machine?”

Think of running on a treadmill… while a hot-air balloon gently lifts you upwards

The AlterG allows you to run at anywhere from 40% of your body weight upwards, significantly reducing the force and pressure going through your bones, joints, tendons and ligaments.

That means your physiotherapist can often introduce running earlier, with less impact and in a more controlled way — helping you progress your rehab safely and confidently.

Whether you’re returning from injury, surgery or simply struggling to tolerate normal running, the AlterG can be a fantastic tool to bridge the gap between rehabilitation and getting back to full running
