WHAT IS SPINAL FLOW
Spinal Flow utilizes the body's innate intelligence to alleviate the emotional, chemical, and physical stress that contributes to the pain and dysfunction we face. The gentle touch offered in this practice aids in regulating the nervous system and restoring communication pathways between various organs and systems, fostering deep healing for individuals of all ages. It is performed fully clothed, without any manipulation or cracking, making it a gentle yet impactful approach.Our nervous system serves as the foundation of our body. It regulates essential functions such as breathing, digestion, heartbeats, and movement, among others. Isn't it amazing that we don't have to consciously think about digesting, breathing, or making our heart beat? The nervous system manages all these tasks for us! Beginning in the brain and extending down the spine, the nervous system branches out to connect with all the organs and muscles throughout our body (as illustrated in the diagram). This includes our heart, lungs, digestive system, and various parts of our head—such as the sinuses, jaw, teeth, and eyes—as well as the muscles in our neck, back, arms, and legs!
The Spinal Flow® Technique was developed by Dr Carli Axford over 20+ years of study, research and clinical observation.
She has a double degree in chiropractic and spent time at the world renowned Texas Back Institute before combining her extensive experience with her studies in India and in many other modalities. She recognises the power of the body’s ability to heal itself as the best way to treat pain, illness and dis-ease.
After refining her methods to find the most effective way to help people heal, the Spinal Flow® Technique was born.
Pain is just one of the signals our wise body sends when it is struggling with stress or illness. Spinal Flow Technique tunes in to what the body is trying to say to enable spinal blockages to be released and transform their wellbeing.
“In my experience, stress is the number one cause of pain and symptoms like depression, anxiety, chronic fatigue, sleep problems and digestive issues,” she says.
Stress from past emotional traumas, the chemicals we live with and the physical stress of accidents or repetitive strain can all be released using Spinal Flow Technique.
How Spinal Flow Can Help

When the nervous system operates more effectively, including both the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems, the body and mind begin to harmonize. Some emotional challenges that Spinal Flow can assist with include: feeling overwhelmed, experiencing a busy mind, struggling to express your voice, and perceiving that you are not being heard. Additionally, it can help with feelings of disempowerment, withdrawal, lack of support, diminished life force, grief over a loved one's loss, feeling stuck in life, being hindered by the past, facing difficulties in decision-making, feeling unloved, lacking confidence and appreciation, and experiencing a decline in joy and creativity, as well as holding onto anger, unprocessed emotions, and traumas accumulated throughout your life
Over time, our bodies accumulate chemical blockages. These can stem from various sources, including toxins we inhale, household cleaners, skincare products, medications, substance abuse, and dietary choices, all of which layer upon our nervous system.
This buildup often manifests as skin issues, rashes, changes in skin color, puffiness, and a pervasive lack of energy.
Through Spinal Flow, we can identify whether these blockages are physical, chemical, or emotional, and over a series of sessions, we can help release them.
While some chemical buildup may be unavoidable due to necessary medications, we generally have the power to choose what we consume in excess. Making small adjustments can significantly impact how we look and feel.
Life unfolds with its challenges, and we encounter various types of stress:
Emotional stress: This includes losses, traumas, unexpressed emotions from childhood, relationship tensions, and financial worries.
Physical stress: This can arise from injuries, repetitive movements, and similar factors.
Chemical stress: This originates from the food we consume, the air we breathe, medications we take, and the cleaning products we use on our skin and in our homes.Our bodies often struggle to process all of these stressors. Anything that remains unprocessed is stored away. Over time, accumulating layers of emotional, physical, and chemical stress can lead to blockages around the spine, disrupting the nervous system. When these blockages occur, communication between the brain and various body parts and organs may be compromised, leading to malfunctions and the emergence of pain and other symptoms.
