Providing you with the capability to simultaneously mobilize and stabilize body areas, while in an upright, weight bearing, functional position, the new patented 2008 ATM2-Pro-ST System adds the capability to simultaneously apply Bilateral or Unilateral Traction to any segment(s) of the spine. See pictures below. This provides you with a simple, yet powerful and unique system.
Unlike other traction devices:
ATM2-Pro-ST traction can be both bilateral and unilateral. You can imagine the benefits for antalgic and scoliotic patients.
ATM2-Pro-ST traction can be applied to lumbar and thoracic spine.
ATM2-Pro-ST traction is applied in a functional upright and weight bearing position.
ATM2-Pro-ST traction does not destabilized the pelvis. Instead, it enhances pelvic and core stabilization.
Position of body areas above and below tractioned region can be adjusted in three-dimensions to make ATM2-Pro-ST traction 100% pain-free.
ATM2-Pro-ST allows for functional active exercises while under traction for long-lasting outcomes.
Advantages:
Transition almost every painful back, neck, pelvis, knee, hip and shoulder movement to become totally 100% pain-free, so that up to full strength isometric exercises can be performed; while
Normalize muscle activation patterns. i.e. re-activate core stabilization muscles, so that global muscles no longer need to compensate for lack of core stability, and can rather focus primarily on global movements; and
Provide significant "within-session" outcomes. FYI: according to a study published in the Australian Journal of Physiotherapy by Hahne (2004;50(1):17-23), when "within-session" improvements occur, then "between-session" improvements are three times more likely; and
Provide a safe, easy to use, user operable environment to do simple, but yet very effective core strengthening exercises for long-term wellness programs.
