THE HOLDING ATLAS

If a bone is out of alignment, including a vertebra, the surrounding soft tissue is often the reason. Bones do not move on their own. Bones move due to a basic pulley system of tendons, ligaments, muscles and connective tissue. By identifying and releasing the tissues responsible for holding a structural imbalance, it is possible for the body to move back into balance- structural harmony without any high velocity twisting and jerking.

Scotty’s process works directly with these soft tissues to release long-standing tension, restore mobility, and improve structural balance throughout the body. He doesn’t move bones hoping the soft tissue follows he begins at the source of the restriction or inhibition and follows the given patterns. This is not Chiropractic.

Scotty Holding (formerly with Atlasprofilax) developed “The Holding Atlas”, a unique procedural approach to Atlas/Axis balance that draws on nearly 30 years of experience in structural bodywork.

His background includes Advanced Structural Integration (Rolfing), European Osteopathy, Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT), Thai Healing massage, and training with the Atlasprofilax Academy in Switzerland.

Atlas/Axis balance is an essential first step in “The Holding Atlas” process - a single treatment can be profound bringing noticeable changes in how a person feels physically, mentally & spiritually.

Scotty trained in the Atlasprofilax method in 2008 and shortly thereafter began combining the principles of Atlasprofilax with his cumulative knowledge of structural body functioning and his broad understanding of the body’s interconnectedness. Each treatment is individualized, addressing the unique complex underlying patterns each person develops through life’s complex journeys.
