The ATLANTOtec vibration method corrects the alignment of the first vertebra. Often the first vertebra can be incorrectly positioned following an injury like whiplash, a fall, or blow to the head. The method which is widely available in Europe involves vibration massage of the long strap muscles of the back and shoulders and deep vibration massage of the neck muscles. Once the muscles are relaxed the atlas first vertebrae can be palpated. If diagnosis confirms the atlas is not correctly aligned, it is vibrated back into its correct place. Following the treatment patients find an improvement in the neck’s range of motion, improvement in posture. In addition improvement can be seen in the energy flow to and from the brain, as well as improvement in breathing and reduction in chronic pain and headaches which means that better sleep patterns are restored. Alignment is usually only needed once.

“...due to levels of bad planning I ended up moving two weeks before Christmas. I have a busy family life and business as does my partner. The thought of packing and moving at this time was a nightmare. So, I called Rosie to the Rescue. The pack and unpack were done at a level that I still find extraordinary. Most items are still just as she presented them. My ‘old stuff’ looks like new. Christmas was a lot less stressed than I thought and my house looks, and still to this day, AMAZING.

Sometimes you just need a photo of a monkey and a snappy headline to catch the attention. Then you can deliver the real message.

3 Teak Court, Albany Creek
die Maree Bro
7 Duet Court, Eatons Hill
We listed our house with Tom from Sold-It Estate Agents, who we were referred to by some friends of ours. Our house sold one day short of five weeks. One of the things that was very important to me was communication, and this was an area that we were very happy with. We requested that all communication be via text message, and Tom kept in contact with us daily right up to the selling of the house, and past that. We have no hesitation in recommending Tom from Sold-It to sell your home. He is professional, his communication is daily and he has a great eye to details. He goes well above and beyond with his customer service! Maree Brodie
Tom brings with him a great mix of industry experience, enthusiasm and professionalism, and was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Our property was a challenge with a number of unusual features that didn’t help the sale - even so Tom managed to bring us 3 separate contracts. When the 2nd contract fell through we were obviously disappointed, but Tom came back quickly with a new contract with a settlement price we were happy with. At the Buyers settlement pre-inspection, Tom quickly solved an issue by going to the plumbing store, buying the required part and fixing the problem himself - what other agent would do that!!! Dean Hartley
11 Quentin Street, Chapel Hill
18 Kedron Park Road, Wooloowin
I recently enlisted Tom Murphy from Sold-It Estate Agents to sell my investment property in Chapel Hill. I have sold a few properties using him in the past, and as usual I was not disappointed. He was able to sell the property within three weeks, obtaining multiple offers, a good price to a good buyer, and delivered a great service. His company Sold-It also paid for all marketing costs, so it was only commission payable. I would highly recommend him to anybody considering selling their property.
We put the property on the market with Tom and within three days he had a contract. Unfortunately that contract fell through and he rang me the day it fell over and said not to worry. The following day he came around with another contract for me to sign, also for a very good price. That contract went through within 30 days and was all settled. I got more than the price I wanted for it. Another good thing was that they didn’t charge me any marketing costs, they bear all of those costs as an agency, so that was pretty good. I am very happy with Tom and Sold-It Estate Agents and I would definitely list another property with them. Barry Wilson
