Atlas alignment AMI
A gentle author's wellness method that works with the position of the first cervical vertebra. Precise work with the deep neck muscles helps restore natural posture, ease tension and bring back lightness in movement.
Atlas correction session — a fragment of the work
The AMI method and name are the author's intellectual property.
Why the first vertebra
Many people live for years with constant neck tension, limited mobility, a heavy feeling in the head or a posture that no longer feels natural. These sensations become familiar, even though the body has been signalling imbalance for a long time.
The cause
A common cause of such states is a slight shift of the atlas — the first cervical vertebra that holds the head and influences the tone of the deep neck muscles, the shoulder girdle and the line of the spine. The shift can occur at birth, after falls, from long hours at a desk or from habitual asymmetries: sleep, sport, carrying a bag on one side.
The method
AMI gently releases the deep suboccipital muscles that hold the atlas. As they relax, the head takes a more natural position — with no sharp movements, no cracking and no pressure on the spine. Posture becomes steadier, tension eases, movement grows freer.
Why it matters
The atlas is the top point of the body's axis. Even a small deviation here shows up in the shoulders, back, pelvis and gait. When the upper body realigns, it finds a more natural, symmetrical balance — from the top down.
Not "adjusting" — restoring support
Many approaches work with the effect — releasing tension where tightness is felt. AMI goes to the foundation: how the upper vertebra that holds the head is positioned.
The method is the author's and patented — it grew out of Margarita Reznik's years of practice and is formalised as a standalone method with its own name.
