PREVENTION AND CHILDREN

The repositioning process of the Atlas is a simple and safe procedure providing life lasting advantages. Children can especially benefit from a treatment as a preventative measure, allowing them to grow up healthily and develop their potential to the fullest.

The treatment of children is particularly recommended because of the ease of execution, resulting from the near-absence of muscular contractions and the greater capacity for easy adaptation to the realignment.

Most of the time, we take care of our health only when pains and problems are already at a very advanced stage and no longer bearable (only relieving symptoms).

After years of problems and attempts to alleviate them with massive and prolonged use of pharmaceutical drugs, the body finds itself in such a precarious state that it becomes increasingly difficult to recover, and the regeneration phase is much longer and more problematic.

It even may happen that a particular person is so ill and his/her body is so exhausted that it cannot regenerate. In such a case the correction is useless. For this reason, the Atlas correction shall be seen as a preventative measure and it is wise for it to be checked and corrected in children, even if they do not yet appear as having any problems.

Dear Marie

I wished to write to thank you and let you know of a slightly unexpected outcome of the Atlas treatment I had several years ago.

As you may know I had my Atlas corrected in August 2007 (3 years ago). The results were instant and quite dramatic. I had been born with difficult and assisted labour and had suffered 3 major head concussions as a child/teen. This had resulted in a fairly chronic neck ache which I struggled to resolve.

I was told of Atlas Profilax by a friend and client (I am an osteopath) and although initially sceptical tried it. The effect was immediate and ever since my Occiput-C1 feels free, like my head is on a roller ball.

As a result I told patients, friends and family and in Feb 2008 you treated my partner. He did not personally feel such a dramatic effect but his previous symptoms were minimal and I can tell with palpation that the Atlas is free.

In June last year (2009) I became pregnant with our first child. I remember having been told that it may be possible that babies born to Atlas corrected parents may also be born corrected. I did not think this would apply to us as I had been told that in humans it took 5 years to ‘filter down’ into the next generation (apparently it is faster in animals and they use it on race horses).

Since my Atlas correction, I have however had a lot of Osteopathic treatment, Cranial Osteopathy, done Alexander technique, Yoga, core stability work and meditation. These, I believe, were all instrumental in helping support the corrected Atlas and allowing the rest of the body to ‘reposition’ itself along the new spinal alignment.

In Feb 2010 baby Jake was born after a difficult 3 day labour. He was 11 days late and weighed 4kg so struggled a little to get out and his head got twisted and stuck. I thought that this would cause him trouble and so both myself and my colleagues treated him with Cranial Osteopathy soon after birth.

We all noticed the same thing, that even though his jaw, neck, upper chest and sacrum were compressed from the birth, the Atlas- C1 junction was free. He has full head range of movement unlike many babies I see who look preferentially to one side. I believe that we were very luck and the Atlas correction which my partner and I both had might well have filtered down to our son.

For this I wish to thank you and wish you all best in treating future parents.

I would suggest though that anyone thinking of having a baby also work with extra bodywork therapies to help their own realignment after the Atlas has been corrected. I believe that the body is a dynamic system which responds to feedback from all parts (mind/body/etc.) and this helps support the cells in correcting themselves after the physical Atlas correction has taken place.

Best Wishes, Jessica & baby Jake

Feedback after AtlasProfilax treatment.

Before treatment:

My daughter also had a treatment. She is 9 years old. First time she went to the osteopath she was 6 years old. I was shocked to see that when she was standing normally, one shoulder was more up that the other, which meant that all of the body was misbalanced. She had sore knees, Stiff neck and shoulders, bad posture; different length legs, therefore one side of the body is more tensed and closed up than the other. When walking kept on tripping over, that is due to different length legs.

After treatment:

Immediate change:
She felt light in the shoulders and neck right away. Posture improved right away. She felt more open between the shoulders and warm all over. She said to the doctor:’ I feel light as a feather!! So light, no more weight on my shoulders! On the same day in the evening: When going to sleep she felt different lying on her back. She said:’ it feels like my back is flat and relaxed like a pancake!’

One week later:
When cycling she felt so opened up, and did not get tired so quickly. We went cycling for three hours. Amazing! Dear Marie-Agnes, thank you for being so kind and helpful with the treatment. I strongly feel that this is a perfect beginning in my young child’s life!!

Hello, I thought you would like to know that as soon as we left the practice, the kids could not stop running. They said they felt weird, 'I feel like running to Spain non stop!!! That is how freedom feels like.

I had to take them around Kentish Town a bit before taking a bus and then another bit around Regents Park, despite the rain.

Aidan, my eldest one, said on Sunday that all his body felt different. andJames, after being questioned by his teacher because he was particularly straight in the line yesterday, stated proudly that his Atlas had been repositioned that is why he looked so good(!) Of course I had to go this morning to explain that there was nothing wrong with his back - his teacher was very scared about it - and I left her one of your leaflets.

Thank you for your patience with the kids and for the work you are doing!

Love - M.F
