ATM2

Scorpio’s ATM2 was the first of its kind in this country: now other clinics are following our lead and acquiring this amazing piece of equipment. The ATM2 is at the cutting edge of new developments in the treatment of the following conditions:

• Slipped disc
• Back pain
• Sciatica
• Scoliosis
• Arthritis of the knee, hip, back or shoulder
• Muscle spasm
• Stiff back
• Recovery from knee injury or surgery (including keyhole surgery, knee replacement, ligament reconstruction etc)

What does it do?
Unlike many forms of physio, chiropractic or osteopathic intervention which can, frankly, be rather uncomfortable, treatment on the ATM2 is completely painfree!

Your therapist will attach you to the device and will work with you to make several adjustments of the belts until you can move your body with no pain. Then you do a few small exercises at your own pace and never into pain.

Unlike most manual therapy techniques you are standing up throughout the procedure and are in complete control of your own body and movements.
When you step off the unit you will feel immediate benefit.

How does it work?
When the therapist attaches you to the ATM2 he or she repositions and gently compresses joints which are related to your pain or stiffness.
This helps to normalize most movement impairments.

When you perform the simple exercises you are asked to do, your central nervous system (CNS) memorises this painfree muscle activation pattern.
When you step off the device you experience an immediate and significant reduction in pain: and your muscles remember the pattern they have just been “taught”

Poor posture?
Have you been told by your doctor or therapist that your headaches or back or neck pain have been caused by the way you stand or sit?

The ATM2 can help to improve your postural alignment which is the final goal of all good therapists and pilates teachers!

Quotes – what the professionals say:
Our athletes come off the unit with better range of movement and less pain, which in turn gives us better results in our rehabilitation programs. The ATM2 has also been a part of my core stabilization program as well…. Todd Lazenby, Head Athletic Trainer, San Francisco 49ers

My patients line up to get on the apparatus, and request time on it due to the amazingly simple protocols for relieving back pain, stiffness and segmental restrictions…..this device is going to change how we approach spinal rehab. Bud Ferrante, Physical Therapist, Pebble Beach California

What the patients are saying:
This is an amazing piece of equipment that I was telling you about just after the op a couple of weeks ago. Being on it is really hard work and I build-up a serious sweat, but I would say it’s my favourite of all the rehab exercises I have to do. It just feels like it really hits the spot in terms of targeting the muscles that need attention. It’s good for increasing my range of movement also. Ernie Els, professional golfer

I re-discovered the lightness and ease of walking I hadn’t experienced for some time Clare Kavanagh, Dublin

Words are not strong enough to use in praise of this machine Dom Coll, Galway

This amazing invention, the ATM2, has given me a second chance of living life which up to now was greatly limited Breda Ni Choisdealbha, Dublin

...after one session on the machine my back felt so much better and subsequent sessions have made my back and hips so much freer. My golf has benefited considerably and no longer do I have aches and pains after playing. We would thoroughly recommend this new equipment to your clients Terry Tindall, Virginia Water
