The Occiput Mechanic
In today's fast-paced world, many individuals grapple with persistent headaches and neck pain, often seeking effective solutions that can be administered in the comfort of their homes. Meet The Occiput Mechanic™, an innovative, patented device invented by our practitioner, Julie Williams at Natural Body Mechanics, to address these common ailments by focusing on the occipital region at the base of the skull.
Understanding the Occipital Region and Its Significance
The occipital bone forms the posterior portion of the skull and plays a pivotal role in supporting the head and facilitating its movement. Tension and misalignment in this area can lead to a cascade of issues, including headaches, neck stiffness, and impaired lymphatic drainage. Traditional therapeutic approaches often involve manual manipulation of this region to alleviate discomfort and restore proper function.
Introducing The Occiput Mechanic™
The Occiput Mechanic™ is meticulously designed to emulate the hands-on techniques employed by practitioners during treatments. Its unique structure allows it to hook under the occipital bone, effectively releasing pressure from the spinal cord. This design mirrors the sensation of a practitioner gently lifting the head to alleviate tension, providing users with a therapeutic experience akin to professional care.
Mechanism of Action
By positioning The Occiput Mechanic™ under the skull, users can achieve several physiological benefits:
Enhanced Blood Circulation: The gentle elevation of the occipital region promotes increased blood flow to the brain, ensuring optimal oxygen and nutrient delivery.
Lymphatic Drainage: The device facilitates the drainage of excess inflammatory fluids from the head and face, reducing swelling and discomfort.
Vagus Nerve Decompression: Alleviating pressure on the vagus nerve helps activate the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation and reducing overall bodily inflammation.
Key Features of The Occiput Mechanic™
Practitioner-Level Care at Home: Designed for home use, it allows individuals to experience therapeutic benefits between professional treatments.
Adjustable Trapezius 'Fingers': These components rest against the trapezius muscles, aiding in relaxation and opening lymphatic drains. They are adjustable to accommodate various shoulder widths.
Portable and Convenient: The device comes with a soft cotton bag for storage and portability, making it easy to incorporate into daily routines.
User Instructions
To maximize the benefits of The Occiput Mechanic™, users are advised to follow these steps:
Preparation: Set a timer for 3-5 minutes and have a glass of water ready for post-session hydration.
Positioning: Find a comfortable, flat surface to lie on. Adjust the device to fit your neck length and shoulder width. Place it over your head, ensuring the 'fingers' are positioned under the occipital bone.
Relaxation: Lie down, allowing the device to support your head. Keep your arms by your sides and legs extended. Breathe deeply to facilitate relaxation and drainage.
Completion: After the timer sounds, gently remove the device, sit up slowly, and drink the glass of water. It's normal to experience slight pressure marks, which will fade shortly.

Safety and Contraindications
While The Occiput Mechanic™ is designed for general use, certain individuals should exercise caution:
Medical Conditions: Individuals with a history of aneurysms, strokes, or severe circulatory issues should consult a healthcare professional before use.
Skin Sensitivities: Elderly users or those with sensitive skin should use the device with the provided soft cotton bag to reduce pressure.
Children: Not recommended for infants or children under 9 years old. For older children, adult supervision is advised.
