EVALUATION:
Physical Therapy begins with an extensive exam to assess pain patterns, mobility, and any neurological involvement. A treatment plan is then developed and goals are set. Exercise is integrated throughout the treatment process to help promote healing.
PROCEDURES:
Our procedures are oriented toward helping our patients increase strength; range of motion, pain relief, and to correct postural alignment.
SERVICES:
We take pride in researching and implementing the latest technology for healing and pain relief. We are the only facility in the area using Low Level Laser therapy for pain relief and the ASTYM Method for reduction of scar tissue.

 Cornerstone Physical Therapy believes in keeping the medical community updated on the latest technology used for rehab. We now offer in our facility another cutting edge piece of equipment called the ATM2 or (Active Therapeutic Movement). The ATM2 enables pain free functional movement for patients with both thoracic and lumbar back pain. This includes a wide variety of diagnosis like joint disorders, disc disorders, and muscle imbalances. Pain and joint disorders alter normal muscle firing patterns. The ATM restores normal muscle activity as the patient is standing in a pain free stabilized position. The ATM2 is nothing short of revolutionary within the realm of pain and rehabilitation.
Developed by a Manual Physical Therapist from Australia, the equipment incorporates all of the modern manual therapy philosophies. The ATM2 is intended to bring the user from a painful to a pain-free situation with the use of stabilizing belts. The body is mobilized and immobilized manually in a standing position. Success depends on an experienced therapist and careful clinical examination.
The ATM2 has one objective, to normalize impaired movements. To do this it addresses the impaired movement's passive, active and neutral control components. This is not to be viewed solely as an exercise but neuromuscular training in pain free movements. While in the stabilization belts, pain is eliminated due to mechanical repositioning allowing the body to be put in an optimal position. Muscles can now be activated in a positive normalized manner. We are finding a marked difference in pain free range of motion with our patients before and then after the treatment.
ATM2 users include the Pittsburg Steelers, Stanford University, Back to Golf, New York Giants and San Fransisco 49ers, to name a few.
