ATM2 Neuromuscular Retraining
The ATM2 machine is a neuromuscular re-training device that allows the patient to stabilize the postural faults and move the body segment without producing any pain, thereby reducing the pain carrying input to the brain. The patient will then produce active, pain-free motion by contracting the muscles in the direction that used to hurt, but contracting the muscles without pain. By performing these muscle contractions pain free, the body is able to override the pain carrying information to the spinal cord and brain, and allow the patient to then move more freely and without pain. This treatment has reduced the soreness post treatment sessions, and allowed the patient to move with less pain and dysfunction.
