How the work goes
The process unfolds in four calm, clear stages. Each one is designed to assess the body precisely and gently help it return to natural balance.
Assessment
We photograph the posture and assess shoulder symmetry, head position and neck mobility. It shows where the body compensates and how that affects wellbeing. A calm, clear step.
Consultation
We discuss your sensations, history of loads, habits, past injuries and lifestyle. We rule out contraindications and explain what to expect during the alignment and in the days after.
Alignment session
It takes place seated or lying down, fully conscious. Gentle work with the deep suboccipital muscles — where head position is formed. No sharp movements, cracking or rough manipulation.
Follow-up
After the alignment the body adapts to the new head position. We give clear guidance on what sensations may appear and how to support the process. Repeat visits reinforce the new balance.
What makes the method original
AMI is not a single technique but a built sequence of work shaped over years of practice. It is formalised as a standalone method with its own name and is protected: both the technique and the name belong to the author.
Gentle, no rough manipulation
When the deep muscles let go of long-held tension, the atlas returns to a more natural position on its own. This lets the whole body reorganise: posture straightens, movement frees up, and clarity and lightness often return to the head.
Repeat visits are more than a check of the atlas position. Each session helps the body gently release remaining tension and reinforce the new balance, especially when changes have built up over years.
Frequent questions
Does it hurt? What will I feel?
No. The method is gentle, with no sharp jerks or cracking. Work with the deep muscles is measured, and sensations are discussed as we go.
Is it like a massage?
AMI focuses specifically on the position of the first vertebra as the head's point of support, not on general relaxation. It is an author's sequence of work with its own approach.
How many visits are needed?
It's individual and depends on your situation. It becomes clear after the first assessment. Follow-up programs are described in the "Programs" section.
How lasting is the result?
The body reorganises gradually, so follow-up visits help lock in the new balance. Stability is higher when there is support during the adaptation phase.
Are there any limitations?
As with any bodywork practice. Conditions and injuries should be mentioned in advance. The practice has limitations, including during pregnancy and in conditions requiring emergency care.
