Thanks

My atlas was out of place
for years, symptoms were anxiety, depression, hopelessness, neck stiffness,
grinding when turning away from problem side, muscle imbalances all over the
body, jaw pain (on the opposite side), TMJ, jaw clicking, lower back pain, pain
mid spine on the left, trapped nerves in left trap and back, thick upper traps
(from forward head posture i think) anyway, all of my symptoms disappeared after
lots of research I finally cracked it (not literally).
Also I wouldnt go
to a chiropractor because I've seen some of their 'corrections', all that sudden
twisting can't be doing those delicate nerves in your neck any good! I guess
that's why the nucca approach is the best because it's gentle.
Here's
what I did to re align my c1 atlas
First, I'm not sure how misaligned you
are but I'm going to assume you have muscle imbalance in the neck but either way
I think the first step I'm about to right is important. If the muscles are tight
on one side your head / c1 simply cant go where it's supposed to.
1. Do
these stretches to loosen the neck, pay attention to imbalances ie if you can go
further on one side than the other. In this case stretch twice as much and don't
count, only release the stretch when the muscle has relaxed. You CAN make
tighter muscles even tighter by stretching improperly.
*edit*
2.
Next the hips. I'm also going to assume you have tight / limited hip movement so
here's what to do.
Go for a walk, whilst walking focus on tightening you
abs and your but (glutes) whilst tilting your pelvis backwards so you
effectively straightening your lower back, so you're pulling the front up an
pushing the back down. Hold it for as long as possible, you should feel your
lower back free up almost straight away.
Necks loose and hips are loose,
so that's the muscles in the top and bottom of your spine sorted, now to align
the C1.
3. Perform these two simple exercises in this video. This (as he
says) always works in positioning the atlas / *edit*
(Like he says repeat
it every hour)
Tip: in ex.2 if you're tense try to relax and when you
bring your arms to your shoulders breathe in.
Hope it helps!
