Good going! The atlas orthogonal instrument is interesting. Thank you very much and good luck! Please keep us posted.
Hi everyone. I was looking up specific muscle groups for under the right shoulder because in spite of an 80min massage on Saturday (today is Monday) the muscle between my lat.dorsi group and under my right shoulder is barking like a dog and feels somewhat like it's about to leap off my body and go its own way.
Weird sensation, I call it pain still, but it's more irritating than anything especially as I've just had a massage.
I'm going somewhere a bit different with all this so bare with me;
twenty years of pain, scoliosis between my shoulder blades, I'm 38 and for the last twelve years I've done everything I can to lessen the daily pain and discomfort including fortnightly massage, monthly chiropractic, acupuncture, obsessive swimming, massage massage and massage. There are some really average therapists out there who have made me worse. Same with chiro, but with chiro the best thing he could do was put my atlas/C1 "in place". Except it popped out anywhere between one day and three weeks.
In exasperation after a dream one night about two months ago and a really bad week of chiro crackings and wrenchings I went nuts researching the atlas. I found 'Atlas Profilax' but didn't think much of it when it came up over and over- it took two days before I looked in to it.
Long story a tad shorter, I made an appt. that same week, cancelled my chiro and at least three quarters of the chronic pain I'd been experiencing had literally disappeared within the week.
I kid you not, this is really extraordinary treatment. It was virtually painless- you'd have to be a serious wimp to even shriek or moan, no more painful than a massage which is what it is, but quick, less than ten mins.
I can't say enough about this treatment.
(Same with the Weston A. Price's book 'Nutrition and Physical Degeneration' which is nothing less than a life-changing goldmine EVERY HUMAN ought to read this minute...)
I urge everyone including the very knowledgeable writer in here who knows about the serratus posterior superior and the subscapularis to look in to it. 'Atlas Profilax' is genuinely astounding.
The only problem for me now is finding a competent massage therapist who can 'empty out' the old junk from the muscles- meaning the two groups mentioned earlier. The average therapists are pretty useless I'm afraid, they do three months of anatomy on a basic course and we are expected to benefit from their professional knowledge. A bit nuts.
At least now I can speak to my massage guy and be specific about the bits he missed the other day.
Best health to everyone, your body is in your own hands. X

I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing so much pain in your neck Avon.
I recommend you find an experienced masseuse and treat yourself to weekly full body massages using moist heat and gentle stretches focusing on the neck. The muscles aren't weak they're tense - releasing the tension is first and foremost.
For strengthening I would focus on the back muscles (extensors) which are responsible for holding you in an upright position. This posture takes the strain off your neck.
Keep your neck/body warm. Try to keep active and spend time in nature. And if you can find yourself in situations where you're laughing uncontrollably, all the better.
I'm sorry, I don't have any referrals in Cape Town but if anything changes I'll be sure to let you know.
hi i am 30 i have had pain in the mid back right at the last rib on left side always sore and pain in left bicep and tingly in the last two fingers on left had also pain in left thigh and foot. they all came about the same time but i had a orthopedic say everythings fine its a muscle. physical therapy say ita muscle but it still hurts and feels tight
Hi, Fell out of a 3rd storey window 30 yrs ago and MRI ( 4 yrs ago)
shows prominent Lesions on C4 -C7.
C3 - Posterior bulging of the disk.
C5 - Osteophyte complex with compression of the right C5 nerve root.
Compression of the DURAL SAC and SPINAL CORD noted.
C6 - Left nerve root is displaced and stretched.
Mass effect on the ventral aspect of the dural sac.
C7 - Disk protusion and framinal narrwing.
I would so appreciate any advice on which muscles I should work on, to strengthen them, hoping that it would ease the pain, which has now reached the point that I pass out and dry retch ( due to flap/valve of the oesophagus )
Been told by one Dr here in the UK that its all in my mind and that I should forgive. My own GP, having also seen the MRI results has told me the dural sac bulging normally goes outwards but that mine is going inwards, towards my spinal cord. These Dr's confuse me and all I want is relief. Morphine does not even help anymore and I certainly would prefer to strengthen muscles and posture to help ease all this pain, which is interfering with my life.
Thanks, if you are able to give me some advice.
BTW. , I am returning to Cape Town, South Africa, in 2 months time and if you by any chance know of a reputable therapist, please let me know?
