AtlasPROfilax

The starting point

Did you know the atlas is misaligned in most humans? It is the first cervical vertebrae that connects the skull and spine, and AtlasPROfilax® is the technique of ensuring it is aligned. Misalignment of the atlas may lead to a variety of physical and psychological ailments and illnesses; this misalignment can also be responsible for pain and discomfort anywhere in the body.

This was discovered by Rene-Claudius Schumperli, himself painfully affected by a misaligned atlas, who, between 1993 and 1996, developed a revolutionary method that can help the atlas return to its correct position. AtlasPROfilax® is not chiropractic.

The cause

This model shows an atlas rotated to the left side. Depending on the rotation angle, a misaligned atlas may cause a reduction of the volume of the skull opening and the vertebral canal. This can expose the spinal cord, different cranial nerves and other nerve tracts to continuous pressure, and lead to the constriction of the vertebral arteries, the carotid artery and various other vessels, as well as lymphatic and cerebrospinal fluid.

The symptoms

Continuous pressure on the spinal cord, the cerebral nerves, various arteries and vessels, etc., can cause severe physical and mental disturbances, ailments and illnesses. Because the atlas carries not only the skull, but also provides suspension, balance and control of the spine and skeleton, a misaligned atlas may be the cause of serious disturbances and changes in the posture.

Symptomatic ailments and illnesses may include constant headache and migraine, neck pain and stiffness, back pain, herniated disc, scoliosis, jammed spinal nerves, scoliotic pelvis, pain in the jaw, arms, hips, knees and meniscus, other illnesses of the knee, and difference in leg length, etc.

Scoliotic pelvis

An example of the interferences and postural changes that may be caused by a misaligned atlas is the scoliotic pelvis.

The method

The AtlasPROfilax® method is unique worldwide in being able to correct a misaligned atlas with only one application – accurately, safely and permanently. It consists of a specialised targeted massage to the short neck musculature, designed to loosen the existing tension in those muscles and, consequently, help return the atlas to its natural position. This method does not employ any manipulative movements of the head or neck.

Free your body to self-heal

If the atlas is in its correct position, the brain can function without the disturbances caused by previous misalignment. It can feel like it wants to catch up with what it could not create in harmony before. It can now set in place valuable self-healing and regenerative processes, enabling the entire human organism to begin to function better. In addition, correcting the position of the atlas may make other treatments and therapies more effective.

Regeneration

Body cells and organs do not, however, regenerate overnight. After the atlas has been allowed to return to its correct position by using the AtlasPROfilax® method, the organism reacts according to the overall physical and psychological condition of the individual. For many people, healing is immediately initiated and many symptoms are immediately relieved.

While others, especially those whose organism has never functioned correctly and with full capacity to begin with, must endure more patience. Unfortunately, there are some cases where an already too-severely ill and long-term disordered organism may no longer be re-built.
