ATM2 (Active Therapeutic Movement) Certification, May 2011, 170 N. Wolfe Rd, Sunnyvale, CA 94086
The ATM® (Active Therapeutic Movement) Concept provides clinicians the practical ability to perform integrated passive and active therapy for musculoskeletal disorders. This approach aims to normalize movement impairments that are related to the patients’ complaints, as detected in the functional examination. Using this approach, reevaluation is constantly monitored while the technique is performed to ensure a symptom free environment. Body areas are mobilized until pain is eliminated. Active neuromuscular training is then prescribed. These techniques are performed in the functional weight bearing position, and are continuously monitored to ensure that they are pain free throughout the intervention. With the ATM® Concept training, clinicians master these techniques and are able to perform these advanced treatment techniques. Furthermore, they fully understand the scientific basis of the ATM® Concept.MEMBERSHIPS
