Why have the procedure done?

My friend and I were shopping in Jackson St, Petone (in Wellington, New Zealand) and wandered into a health food store called Take Care. This is one of those stores that you walk into and feel an instant calm come over you. There is relaxing music playing and a large collection of crystals by the door. The energy in there is great and my friend and I both walked away without any products as the owner talked us out of them! I've been back twice since that first visit and I don't think she is trying to make money! The owner (Diane, I think) is very honest and won't sell you anything you don't need. She also trys all the products before selling them so can tell you of the effects from a personal point of view.

Anyway, Diane said as we seemed open-minded, she wanted to tell us about the AtlasPROfilax method. She gave us a brochure and explained that she had the procedure and it was amazing. For her it took a few months to take effect but once it did, she had a lot more energy. We asked what was involved and she said it was simply a neck massage. I was quite apprehensive about someone manipulating my neck so we said thank you and goodbye and wandered out into the rain.

This conversation nagged away at me. I have constant neck pain from my scoliosis and am willing to try anything. I practice yoga, which is a huge help, but can't move my head to the left more than a few centimetres, despite trying many different exercises over the years. Osteopaths, physios, and yoga teachers have all said there is nothing I can do, but I refuse to believe them. 'Never quit' is my mantra!

I went back a couple of weeks later and asked Diane for more information. She said that the change was so great, it was like waking up one day with a younger body. She was actually scared to get out of bed as her level of body awareness was so high following the procedure. I was caught by her genuine enthusiasm and signed up on the spot. She advised me not to be apprehensive about the procedure as I would get more out of it with a positive attitude.

Sound advice for all areas of life!
