Facts

Everything rests on the atlas, the first cervical vertebra

The first cervical vertebra, the atlas, is malrotated in many people. Because of this malrotation, the spinal cord, various cranial nerves and other nerve tracts can be under constant pressure.

Today we understand how important the atlas is for our health and our physical and mental balance. It is the gateway through which the cranial nerves, the finest nerve tracts, veins, the spinal cord and spinal fluid pass through the foramen magnum. A malrotated atlas inevitably leads to restriction, disturbed blood flow and reduced or false information flowing between the head and the body. The body's natural balance is disturbed. This faulty position also leads to problems along the whole spine, with effects on the muscles, eyes, ears, jaw, nerves, circulatory system, balance organs and internal organs. The spine also has to compensate for the malrotation of the atlas with a rotation all the way down to the sacroiliac joint.

With the atlas in its natural position, however, the body can reach a new level of health. It is a chance not only to walk upright, but also to live an upright life.

The method – Upright and healthy!

History

For a long time, walking upright and good health were only words to the Swiss-born René-Claudius Schümperli. He did not know the reason for his suffering.

While dealing with his own suffering and trying to help himself, he began to suspect that most people have a malrotated first cervical vertebra (the atlas). Treating other clients confirmed his suspicion. Through his own experience, Schümperli developed a method to bring the atlas into a stable position, which was a breakthrough for mankind!

Other schools of thought assume only a slight misalignment, in some cases just tenths of a millimetre. But it is a fact that in most cases the atlas is malrotated. Because the approaches differ, the treatment methods are also completely different. Other methods are based on the assumption of a minimal malrotation, so a complete correction can never be achieved. Mr Schümperli's method, by contrast, allows the atlas to return gently and permanently to its optimum position.

Application

The method releases existing tension through a specific massage of the short neck muscles, allowing the atlas to move back into its anatomical position. A follow-up appointment that supports the self-healing process is essential. Once the atlas has reached its natural position, it cannot rotate out again, for anatomical and mechanical reasons. The application only needs to be done once and the atlas will stay in its correct position. This permanence offers the chance of full physical and mental development, and the possibility of being upright and healthy.

Prevention

Because the AtlasPROfilax® method allows the body to heal itself, it is primarily a preventive measure. For this reason it is recommended for children as early as possible, so they can grow up healthy and develop to their full potential.

Possible reactions

Occasionally there may be reactions, either straight after the AtlasPROfilax® application or, in some cases, weeks later. These are a sign that the self-healing process is progressing.

Possible reactions range from fatigue and muscle tension in the neck and back to general exhaustion. Aches and pains you have had in the past may also flare up. Be aware of your body, note any changes in your condition, and support the self-healing process with regular massage.

Remark:

The AtlasPROfilax® method is not a substitute for medical care or diagnosis. Do not interrupt or stop any current treatment, and do not postpone any future treatment. The AtlasPROfilax® method is neither a diagnostic method nor a medical therapy, and it does not treat any disease, symptom, medical condition or ailment.
