Performance Enhancement for Professional and Amateur Athletes

The Benefits for Professional Athletes

High-level athletes have a unique awareness of their bodies: they can detect even the slightest improvement.

Working with them is extremely rewarding because results that might seem ordinary to others represent for them the feeling of surpassing themselves. Goals that once seemed unattainable are achieved with surprise and satisfaction.

The Method Chosen by Champions

We have treated professional athletes at all levels, including world champions in various disciplines, such as footballers and boxers who rely on our discretion. At these levels, the treatment is usually carried out without the knowledge of coaches, medical teams, physiotherapists, and especially managers, to avoid misunderstandings or doubts about the athlete's condition.

The origin of that sudden performance boost must remain hidden. Furthermore, the medical team might not approve of the treatment, while the manager might think the athlete is less fit than expected. Even while staying in the shadows, it is deeply satisfying to see those athletes triumph, knowing that we contributed to their success.

Planning the Atlas Correction Treatment

For professional athletes, the timing of the correction is crucial. After the treatment, the body requires a recovery and adaptation period to eliminate compensations developed in response to misalignment. Therefore, the ideal time to undergo the treatment is during the off-season or holidays, when performance is not under pressure.

The Atlas treatment represents a significant change for the athlete's body and needs to be metabolized. This aspect is particularly relevant for sports that require precision and coordination. Immediately after the first session, the athlete may experience a temporary decrease in precision and coordination of movements.

Significant postural changes are initially perceived as "I feel crooked and uncoordinated." Paradoxically, although the athlete is aware of being more aligned, as demonstrated by posture photos, in the first days following the Atlas correction, the opposite perception may prevail.

It takes a few weeks for the body to fully adjust to the new alignments and make the necessary adjustments. During this phase, transient soreness and discomfort may occur, with adaptation reactions that might seem unusual. In the first week, it is common to experience increased fatigue and a greater need for sleep. Once this phase is overcome, progressive and significant performance improvements can be observed.

Contrary to what one might think, the cervical muscles of athletes, although generally more developed than average, tend to be less tense and easier to treat than less toned muscles covered in adipose tissue.
