Active Therapeutic Movement (ATM®2)
Without reactivating injured spinal
muscles, regardless of how you feel, you are an accident waiting
to happen.
After
a spinal injury, pain prevents your body from using your vital
stabilizing muscles (called multifidi). Your central nervous
system (CNS) then compensates, using other muscles groups to
provide some stability. The problem is this; while this
compensation helps you move in the short term, it creates a host
of long-term problems as these muscles (not designed for the
endurance and precision of stabilizing the spine) go into spasm,
ruin your flexibility and can create pain and further injury.
You are, in short, an injury waiting to happen – no matter
how many sit-ups, ball exercises and therapy you do.
The ATM®2 utilizes the latest technology to provide pain
relief, improve flexibility and strength by turning your vital
core muscles back on through active exercise while your body is
fully supported in a pain free position.
The ATM2 can be used on the neck, mid back, low back,
shoulders, hips, knees, and the TMJ. For many patients the ATM2
can provide immediate pain relief and improved function where
other traditional methods have failed.
