Alter G user Carl Cort scored his first goal for Norwich this week against his old club Wolves.
Following surgery and physio input from John Green, Carl used the G-trainer, based at Premier Physiotherapy Centre in Chadwell Heath, during the early stages of his rehab when 'on land' running wasn't possible.
We also did intensive endurance sessions on the G-trainer which would have aggravated his knee had we attempted these sessions outdoors
Our congratulations go out to Carl and we look forward to seeing his goal tally grow as the season progresses

Marathon Fever
It's at about this time of year that we at Premier Physiotherapy Centre, Chadwell Heath start to fill our diaries up with Marathon hopefuls who are starting to feel the strain of training.
Did you know that training on the Alter G could reduce the overall stress on the body during this period and give the runners a better chance of successfully getting to the START or the Flora London Marathon.
How?
Well for example if you can manage say 40 miles per week but always seem to struggle when you raise your weekly volume to 45 miles per week then you could try the following:
Run 37 miles per week 'on land' (well below your breakdown threshold) and do a 10 mile run on the g-trainer at reduced body weight = 47 miles per week without the stress on the joints and soft tissue structures that you have previously found to lead to a breakdown in training
Resulting in improved performance!
