Athletes push themselves all day every day to earn a spot on the leader board when it is go-time. Hours upon hours in the gym, on the field, or in the game are often necessary to be the best of the best, but all that athletic training can come at the price of misalignment.
The top vertebra, usually referred to as the Atlas, is located at the bottom of the skull and is one of the key components of a healthy spine. The positioning of the Atlas can impact the alignment of hips, shoulders, other vertebrae, and virtually the entire body. If the Atlas becomes misaligned, it can put unwanted pressure on arteries, blood vessels, cranial nerves, and the spinal cord. In addition to uncomfortable pressure the condition can also cause severe discomfort and pain that may compromise an athlete’s performance.
The AtlasPROfilax treatment is a short vibro-massage of neck muscles located just underneath the head that can usually be performed in roughly five minutes. Unlike chiropractic procedures, the massage generally does not include any manipulations that will cause undesirable cracking or popping. The AtlasPROfilax treatment should allow the Atlas to return to its optimal position, leaving you ready to get back in the game.
TYPES OF ATHLETIC TRAINING SERVED BY ATLASPROFILAX
Many amateur athletes work well beyond the duration of their actual season and most professional athletes work hard year round. But a competitor of any work level who regularly engages in athletic training is putting their body at risk if they are not closely listening to it.
Ensuring that an athlete’s Atlas is correctly aligned generally yields better overall spine health which in turn better supports both the joints and muscles that extend from it. The simple AtlasPROfilax procedure can help athletes achieve their optimal health while giving their bodies the competitive edge they need to perform when it really counts.
Proper alignment of the spine is a crucial part for most sports, but it is an integral part of achieving success in athletic training for sports such as baseball, football, golf, basketball, soccer, swimming and tennis.
Athletics
Baseball
Posture can have a direct impact on a batter’s swing in baseball. The alignment of the spine is what largely stabilizes any hip or shoulder movements that flow from it and aids in establishing a consistent and successful swing pattern. The proper upper body posture can even ensure a fuller hip rotation for pitchers.

Basketball
This sport is one of constant motion, and players seldom have more than a few minutes to recuperate at a time on the sidelines. All of that running and twisting to pass the ball can take a toll on the body’s alignment. Although injuries tend to happen when players’ alignment is not right, good spinal alignment can help keep them on the court and playing their best.

Football
There is no question, football is a full contact sport. In addition to the tiresome workouts and weightlifting these players religiously do to keep in shape, they endure extreme jarring force on their bodies over and over again. Whether they play on offense or defense, the physicality of this sport can be hard on the spine and may result in misalignment.

Golf
Golfers playing one eighteen hole round are typically on the green for hours at a time. In each instance that these athletes step up to the tee, a number of muscles and joints must work in perfect collaboration to allow the proper body rotation needed for the desired momentum and a hole-in-one swing. Correct body posture, which relies a great deal on proper alignment, is key in achieving optimal results.

Soccer
Although soccer is not generally thought of as a contact sport, it is increasingly becoming just that. Players are in motion for the duration of the game which puts a strain on the body and its joints and muscles. Kicking the ball with the adequate velocity to the intended recipient is typically a smoother and more successful transition when the body is in good alignment. Soccer players that intercept the ball with their head often feel a noticeable impact on the head and neck and can experience painful misalignment.

Swimming
Swimmers are constantly moving when they are in the water. These athletes use most of the muscles in their bodies during a competitive swim and even the slightest shift of just a few degrees can positively or negatively impact their speed. This sport requires the different parts of the body to work together in harmony and good alignment to claim success.

Tennis
In addition to the stress put on the body from frantically running and diving to hit the ball, tennis players also rely on good upper body posture and strength. As these athletes powerfully swing their rackets from the right and left sides of the tennis court, they are actively engaging their shoulder and back muscles which over time can affect proper alignment.
