Where are your atlanto occipital joints - the most important joints of your body?
Video
We were all very confused, until Pat (Patrick Macdonald) realized that what F.M. meant (although he wasn´t saying it in a word) was that the head goes forward and up from the occipital joint, not from the »hump« (dtsch. Buckel, 7. Halswirbel). This was such an eye opener to all of us because as soon as we realized that, we could get the freedom there and the rest did itself almost.

Where are your hip joints?
