The goal of the application is to promote body awareness and self-perception, while offering an impulse for greater balance in daily life. The method is based on the assumption that functional relaxation in the atlas region can contribute to overall physical harmony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the core of the approach is a targeted application using a specially developed device to massage the short neck muscles. The method was developed by Ren\u00e9-Claudius Sch\u00fcmperli in the 1990s and is now applied and further refined internationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Application<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The method, developed by Ren\u00e9-Claudius Sch\u00fcmperli, involves a targeted massage of the short neck muscles using a specially developed and patented device. The aim of the application is to support the optimal positioning of the atlas. A subsequent check-up as well as accompanying support of the natural self-regulation processes are recommended.

In this region run the spinal cord, cerebrospinal fluid, cranial nerves, as well as fine nerve fibers and blood vessels. Misalignments or tensions in the craniovertebral junction can affect the function of these structures. In many people, a misalignment of the craniovertebral junction is detected, which often remains unnoticed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Experiences<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A functionally well-aligned atlas can, according to subjective experience, contribute to an improved body awareness. Users report that their overall well-being has improved through the application. In practice, it has been observed that a reduction of tension in the upper neck area can also influence the personal experience of lightness, mood, and vitality.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.atlaspraxis.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/GernotFlick201507010954-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Treatment\" class=\"wp-image-7597\" style=\"width:400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.atlaspraxis.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/GernotFlick201507010954-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.atlaspraxis.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/GernotFlick201507010954-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.atlaspraxis.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/GernotFlick201507010954-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.atlaspraxis.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/GernotFlick201507010954-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.atlaspraxis.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/GernotFlick201507010954-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.atlaspraxis.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/GernotFlick201507010954-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Self-Healing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Misalignments in the atlas\u2013craniovertebral joint area are associated in practice with various complaints. Users report that their physical and emotional balance has subjectively improved following an adjustment. The AtlasPROfilax\u00ae method aims to bring the atlas into a more physiologically favorable position, thereby supporting the body&#8217;s self-regulation. How this process affects each individual varies and depends on numerous personal factors. The method is understood as a supportive stimulus to activate self-regulatory forces\u2014without any claim of medical healing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pay&nbsp;attention to&nbsp;yourself&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mindfulness toward oneself, one\u2019s actions, and the environment is considered an important part of a balanced life. Many people find that a sense of stability and inner balance helps them move through life with more energy and clarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A functionally unrestricted craniovertebral joint is viewed within the context of atlas work as a possible foundation for greater physical well-being. Individual perception and experience are central and can contribute to increased awareness in dealing with oneself.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.atlaspraxis.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/GernotFlick201507010944-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Treatment\" class=\"wp-image-7595\" style=\"width:400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.atlaspraxis.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/GernotFlick201507010944-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.atlaspraxis.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/GernotFlick201507010944-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.atlaspraxis.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/GernotFlick201507010944-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.atlaspraxis.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/GernotFlick201507010944-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.atlaspraxis.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/GernotFlick201507010944-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.atlaspraxis.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/GernotFlick201507010944-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Take everything&nbsp;into Impulses for Change<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A consciously designed, fulfilling life depends on many factors \u2014 including how one deals with stress, personal habits, and the social environment.
