Rose City Physical Therapy

AlterG in Portland

Recover Faster. Train Smarter. Move Without Limits.

At Rose City Physical Therapy in Portland, OR, we offer advanced rehabilitation with the AlterG® Anti-Gravity Treadmill. This cutting-edge technology uses NASA-developed differential air pressure to reduce your body weight while walking or running, making recovery easier, safer, and more effective.

Whether you’re healing from surgery, managing chronic pain, or training as an athlete, AlterG therapy helps you move without the stress and strain of full body weight.

What Is AlterG?

The AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill is a revolutionary rehabilitation and performance tool that:

  • Reduces body weight impact by up to 80%

     

  • Promotes faster recovery from injury or surgery

     

  • Allows pain-free movement and exercise

     

  • Improves mobility, strength, and endurance

     

By precisely controlling body weight load, AlterG makes it possible to walk or run earlier, safer, and longer than with traditional rehab methods.

Who Benefits From AlterG Therapy?

Our Portland patients use the AlterG for a wide range of conditions and goals, including:

  • Post-surgical rehab (hip, knee, ankle, or foot surgery)

     

  • Sports injuries (sprains, strains, fractures)

     

  • Neurological conditions affecting gait or balance

     

  • Arthritis and joint pain

     

  • Weight management and safe exercise

     

  • Athletic performance training and endurance building

     

If pain, injury, or mobility issues are holding you back, AlterG therapy can help you return to activity with confidence.

Why Choose Rose City Physical Therapy?

  • Certified Portland physical therapists with expertise in AlterG rehabilitation.

     

  • Personalized treatment plans that combine AlterG sessions with proven physical therapy techniques.

     

  • Faster results – many patients regain mobility sooner than expected.

At Rose City Physical Therapy, we don’t just focus on recovery—we help you regain strength, restore confidence, and get back to the life you love.

What to Expect During Your AlterG Session

  1. You’ll wear specialized shorts that zip into the treadmill’s air chamber.

     

  2. Your therapist adjusts the air pressure to unload your body weight.

     

  3. You walk or run in a comfortable, low-impact environment while we monitor your progress.

     

Most patients are surprised by how natural and effective AlterG feels, even during the very first session.
