Spinal flow technique
How spinal flow may benefit you
Spinal Flow Technique is a gentle, hands on modality created by an Australian Chiropractor (Dr Carli Axford) who let go of trying to force healing with manipulation, adjustments and cracking of the spine, to guiding the body back towards it’s own self healing capacity with gentle touch on access points (areas of ease) on the sacrum and cranium. Connecting in with these access points reminds the body that there is ease available and the vital force (prana, chi, breath, life force, spinal flow etc) can then move through blockages and layers of stress held within the spine and all of the tissues, organs and systems connected via the nerves (essentially the whole body!)
Spinal Flow can be supportive for:
Nervous system regulation - calming the body and the mind, coming back into rest and digest and out of fight and flight, reducing stress and anxiety and improving sleep
Pain, mobility and postural challenges (including chronic pain, fibromyalgia, sciatica, headaches)
Digestive and reproductive issues
Expansion of breath and connection to the body
Enhancing communication between the body and the brain - a reconnection and remembering of the body’s innate healing abilities
Increasing circulation and blood flow to vital organs and through nerve supply and musculature, reducing menstrual pain, spasming type pain and tension held in the muscles
Emotional release and trauma related issues long held in the body
Feeling more grounded and in your body while being better able to cope with the messages your body is sending you

What to expect in a session
First session: 75-90 minutes
Cost: $150-175
Space to discuss presenting issues and health history
Postural and Gateway assessment (both standing and lying face down)
Includes a 30 minute healing session
Sessions are fully clothed, laying face down (if laying face down is a major issue for you adjustments can be made)
Areas of ease are found in the sacrum and cranium, so focus of gentle touch will be on and around these areas (sometimes touching the tailbone as well)
You may experience movement in your physical body, increase in breath, emotions, an inner sense of peace/calm, deep relaxation, subtle sensations, inner perception of shifts, electrical impulses and more (all very individualised)
Follow up sessions
45 minutes (1:1) / 30 minutes (group sessions)
Cost: $75 (1:1) / $60 (each, group sessions)
1:1 session: space for discussion before and after each session
Group session (2-3 people on separate tables in the same space):
no talking in the space, time for healing only
can email or message before or after a session if needed
space for deeper discussion at 1:1 reassessment (you’ll be guided when to book this in)
Benefits of group sessions: save money, co-regulation, entrainment in group healing (Entrainment is the process of independent rhythms interacting and influencing each other)
