First, we check you and explain. Then we get to work. No surprises.
Your spine, explained
Your spine supports your whole body: 24 movable vertebrae, from your neck to your lower back. Scroll to explore it.
01 · Base of the skull. This is where the alignment starts.
The alphabiotic alignment uses firm, precise movements from the base of the skull, where the spine meets the head.
02 · Cervical. 7 vertebrae support your head.
Your head weighs about 5 kg (11 lb). Hours on your phone or computer put a load on this area.
03 · Thoracic. 12 vertebrae shape your posture.
They connect to your ribs. When stress makes you hunch your shoulders, this is where you feel it.
04 · Lumbar. 5 vertebrae carry your weight.
They are the largest. They work whenever you sit, stand or lift things.
05 · Side view. Your spine is not straight.
It has three natural curves that share out your weight and cushion every step. Between one vertebra and the next, a disc absorbs movement.
06 · Your visit. We check you from the base of the skull to your lower back.
Before we start, we explain what we found and what we suggest, with its price.
Book on WhatsAppIs it for you?
For everyday tension.
- You spend long hours sitting at a computer or laptop.
- You work on your feet or lift heavy loads.
- Stress leaves your neck, shoulders or back feeling tight.
- You play sports and want to move more freely.
If you have a recent injury or surgery, or if you are pregnant, talk to your doctor first. We will tell you honestly whether this is right for you.
Your first visit
Here's how it works, step by step.
Step 1
You arrive and we talk
We talk about your day: your work, how you sleep, where you carry tension. No long forms.
Step 2
We check your posture
We look at how you stand and use our hands to check the tension in your back.
Step 3
Massage, alignment or both
If your muscles are very tight, we start with a massage to loosen them. Then comes the alignment: firm, precise movements from the base of the skull.
Step 4
We tell you what's next
How to take care of yourself over the next few days and whether another session makes sense. If we recommend another service, we tell you the price first. You decide.

No mystery
What is alphabiotics?
It is an alignment technique done entirely by hand, with no devices. Using firm, precise movements from the base of the skull, it aims to release built-up tension in the spine, neck and shoulders.
What it is
- A brief, hands-on wellness practice.
- Work we explain to you before we do it.
- Something you can combine with massage.
What it isn't
- Not a medical treatment, and not a substitute for your doctor.
- Not random "cracking".
- Not a diagnosis.
Alphabiotics is a wellness practice. It does not replace medical diagnosis or treatment. If you have an injury, recent surgery or osteoporosis, or if you are pregnant, talk to your doctor first.
