An ATM (Active Therapeutic Movements) based treatment is a combined clinician/patient effort to manage and control musculoskeletal pain and is based upon Physical Therapy principals and the works of Brian Mulligan, PT, PNZP (Hon), Diploma M.T. who is an International Lecturer in manual therapy and a world renowned author & other Physical Therapists. Back Project’s ATM2 enables personalized body repositioning for finding unique, pain-free position for each user.

Hearts & Horses Therapeutic Riding Program

May 22010

Volunteers are indispensable at all levels of the organization and need not be equine-oriented. Some bring skills in horsemanship, others bring leadership skills, and others simply bring understanding and acceptance in seeking fuller, more satisfying lives for themselves. They bring new ideas and insight to the program and frequently enlist their friends! Most volunteers readily agree that they gain as much, or more, than they give. Volunteers are people who reach out to others and help improve quality of life for all involved.

Would you like to volunteer at Hearts & Horses? Call (970) 663-4200 or visit our web site: http://www.HeartsAndHorses.org
