Vitametik
Vitametik® - a holistic neuromuscular relaxation method to overcome stress and stress-related symptoms. Since it was established in Germany in 1999, this method has already been performed millions of times to help people relax their muscles and nervous system. This science backed relaxation technique can help alleviate complaints such as neck pain, shoulder/arm issues, back pain/lower back pain, and headaches, when these pains are caused by chronic muscular tension.​​
Muscle tension and stress
Muscle tension is an important component of our stress response. When our body prepares for fight or flight, one of the physiological changes includes increased muscle tension. Prolonged or chronic stress can lead to chronic muscle tension, which may result in misalignment in the body. This, in turn, can cause various symptoms such as tension headaches, neck, shoulder, and back pain, joint pain, inflammation, and more. One indication is a leg length difference caused by the muscle tension which we address during Vitametik sessions.
Vitametik session
A Vitametik session follows the same structure, regardless of the specific causes or symptoms of your stress.
​
The session begins with an assessment of your current situation. Next, muscle tension and pelvic misalignment are evaluated using palpation of the neck muscles and a dynamic leg length test.
​
The core of the session is the Vitametik impulse — a gentle, manual pressure applied to a specific point on the side of the neck. This is followed by a five-minute rest phase.
​
Afterward, the dynamic leg length test is repeated, and the session concludes with a final 20-minute rest phase to allow your body to fully relax and integrate the treatment.
Relaxation and after care
Your session is designed to include ample time for deep relaxation, with key rest phases to support your body. You will find that you were able to get some deep relaxation through this session.
It is important to stay well-hydrated after your session as this supports your body’s natural processes as it adjusts and works towards balance and relaxation.
To preserve the benefits of the session, it is important to avoid heavy lifting, exercising, and repetitive movements for at least the next 24 hours or until after your next sleep cycle. Your body and mind are in a deeply relaxed state, and engaging in intense activities could counteract the positive effects of the session.
While there are no known side effects of Vitametik, it's important to follow these guidelines to ensure the full benefits of your session. However, relaxing exercises such as a gentle walk can boost the effect of Vitametik.
