ATM2 Therapy
BackProject's ATM (Active Therapeutic Movement) family of products enable personalized body repositioning for finding a unique, pain-free position for each user. Once this position is found, the systems stabilize the patient allowing specific neuromuscular training based on body movement isolation that aims to achieve and sustain an immediate pain reduction, increase in range of motion, and improved function.
The ATM theory and immediate results are substantiated by a research project done at the University of Western Australia.

How does the ATM2 work?
Based on the Mulligan concept you can normalize specific movement impairments by repositioning a particular joint related to the movement impairment. Similarly, while performing an Active Straight Leg Raise (ASLR) test, you can also normalize an impaired movement (ASLR) by compressing the pelvis.
Using the ATM2 you can simultaneously reposition (similar to Mulligan techniques) and compress (similar to ASLR test) particular areas of the body to normalize most movement impairments. The patient will be in an upright weight bearing position that immediately and safely allows them to do fully resisted exercises in the direction and range of the previously impaired movement.
According to the ATM Concept, when you transition a painful movement to become pain-free, the CNS transitions from a pathological muscle activation pattern to a normal (pain-free) muscle activation pattern. Specific resisted movements, now pain-free, causes the CNS to memorize this pain-free muscle activation pattern.
The outcome is an immediate and significant reduction in back, neck, pelvis, shoulder, hip, and knee pain, in almost all of your musculo-skeletal patients. Guaranteed or your money back.
