Atlas Profilax

The Atlas Profilax method was developed by Rene-Claudius Schumperli, a Swiss chiropractor, in the 1990s. Schumperli observed that many of his patients had a misaligned atlas vertebra, which he believed was the root cause of many of their symptoms. He developed the Atlas Profilax method as a non-invasive way to realign the atlas vertebra, without the need for manipulation or cracking of the neck.

The AtlasProfilax method consists of a specialised targeted massage to the short neck musculature designed to loosen the existing tension in those muscles and consequentially return the atlas to its natural position. This method does not employ any manipulative movements of the head or neck and is a gentle process. The Atlas Profilax method involves a single session, which takes about 60 minutes.

The AtlasProfilax method may only be practiced by a specialist — an AtlasProfilax practitioner educated and certified by the AtlasProfilax Academy in Valais, Switzerland.

To date, there are several studies published and in the ACTA Journal of Orthopaedics, this paper noted the Atlas Profilax shed some light in joint disorders. Another case study published found improvement in cervical spinal misalignment while more can be read to learn its benefits here, its effects on fibromyalgia here,

Overall, while more research is needed to fully understand the potential benefits of Atlas Profilax, these referenced case studies suggest that it is a viable option, although as always, it is important to consult with a professional healthcare provider before using any type of therapy, particularly if you have any underlying health conditions. With its non-medical approach and potential benefits, in our opinion, Atlas Profilax is a promising option for those who may be looking to alleviate pain and improve their overall health and wellbeing.
