Please note that these are spontaneous unedited responses from clinicians whom actively use the ATM Concept and ATM2 systems in their respective clinics. None of these clinical educators received any compensation for their endorsement. (The ATM2 was formerly called the PR3000T and Pelvic Restrainer).

I was very interested to see the successes the ATM2 would provide at my two clinics after purchasing them a little over a year ago. I can tell you first hand, I’ve been pleasantly surprised. The ATM2 works for treating many of the musculoskeletal issues we see every day at the two clinics. It provides a systematic approach to many painful movement impairments my therapists have to deal with. In most situations painful movements become a non- issue and function is restored even on the very first visit. We use the ATM2 for almost every back patient we see and our treatment methodologies have broadened, as we have become more experienced and successful, using the ATM2 for shoulders and cervical applications.

We are also very excited and pleased to use the ATM2 for athletic performance. For example, we’ve developed our own very unique golf set up and protocol. This establishes a fundamental formula for testing a golfers existing ROM. Once established, we can then place them on the ATM2 and very quickly completely change their ROM by using our own golf swing Isometric exercises program. In just a few minutes, I can almost guarantee, with even the most fit, elite golfer, a significant change and improvement with their golf ROM. For every golfer this relates to better swing mechanics caused by the core and related muscle groups becoming much more efficient and interactive. I tell my golf-patients that over time and consistently using the ATM2 in a regimental exercise program, will translate to better swing control, golf flight and ball carry. My golf-patients, flat out, just become healthier, more fit and way more golf swing-efficient.

Most importantly, we emphasize active patient involvement in both pain management, rehabilitation and athletic performance at my clinics. We know physical therapy is an essential component in the delivery of quality healthcare and fitness here. Our goal is always to enhance and maximize the health, function and quality of life of our patients. This is what we do. The ATM2 has been a delight to use and will continue to be an integral part of our success.
