FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS STRAIGHTEN UP:
Q: Do you manipulate my spine?
A: No - The Straighten Up procedure is a massage process that loosens tensions in the muscle and connective tissue around the Atlas vertebrae and other parts of your body. There is no force like cracking or pushing involved. The vertebra is aligned in ONE treatment.
Q: What clothes do I wear?
A: I recommend wearing light weight, comfortable fitting clothing where I can work through and you feel comfortable to sit in and lay down in.
Q: What does the procedure involve?
A: The procedure will be done while you sitting in a chair at first. The special crafted device will send pulses to the soft issue surrounding the Atlas bone as well as part of the shoulders and back.

After the Atlas vertebrae is aligned there is further Bowen Therapy done while you lay down on the massage table. Your treatment is customized to your needs!
