Correcting The Atlas Vertabrae--Structural Priority
The atlas is a flat litte bone between the neck and the cranium. It could be called the first vertabrae down from the head. Running parallel to the ground, when it gets displaced either to the right or the left, symtoms such as headache and stiff neck occur, often with neck pain. To correct, it must be pushed from the right or the left, back into place. It doesn't take much pressure. Test by running fingers under the cranium toward the center of the neck from the left and the right saying "direction of correction". The muscle test will be strong in the direction you need to correct. Nuckles resting on the cranium in the back and to the correction side, apply steady medium soft pressure with the thumb, stroking just under the cranium to the center of the neck three times. Test to see if corrected.
