Spinal Flow® Technique

You must book an Initial Visit before participating in our registered group or maintenance massage sessions. Our 2 hour Multidimensional Massage is now also an option as an Initial Visit. After your Initial Visit we offer Corrective Care and Maintenance Sessions as either registered group sessions or as maintenance massages. We no longer offer individual Spinal Flow® or children’s private sessions.

Spinal Flow® Technique is a technique that was developed by Dr. Carli Axford, a Chiropractor. Spinal Flow® works on the Central Nervous System which consists of the brain and the spinal cord. Every nerve coming out from the spinal cord through the body’s spinal column supplies every organ and cell of the body. These nerves come out in 1 of the 7 areas of the spine, the Spinal Gateways. When these areas are stuck, not moving, inflexible, the nerves become blocked and this causes dis-ease and affects our health.

Full movement and flexibility in each Gateway of the spine is important so that the energy may flow out to supply every organ, gland, tissue, cell and blood vessel of the body, reminding our body of its true ability to heal, and allowing the body to go back to what it already knows, its natural wisdom.

Pain and symptoms are the body’s way of telling us to stop and pay attention, to look deeper into what’s happening in our life. Spinal Flow is used to heal our bodies physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually by identifying the source of the problem.

The access points along the spine are used in order to make a connection to the Gateways; a message is sent to the brain, and then the brain comes in to make a shift in the body towards more ease and expansion. When our posture is in alignment, our nervous system is vibrating intensively and in connection to our soul’s deepest calling.

The shape, position, tension and tone of our spine is in direct relation to the shape, position, tension and tone of our life. The Spinal Gateways are the mirror between how we perceive ourself and how we perceive the world.

Spinal Flow® is a non-invasive technique, using light finger pressure and gentle traction on areas of tension, working with energy fields to clear and unblock blockages in the body’s energy flow. A modality bringing balance into areas where the energy flow meets and supports the structure of the whole body’s health and self-healing, finding ways to break old patterns and to overcome obstacles.

Dis-ease occurs when the body or mind are unable to successfully self-heal and respond or recover from a physical trauma, emotional stress or chemical toxicity.

Gateways along the spine, when activated, cause the body to suddenly breathe, move, stretch, awaken and release trapped energy, traumas, mental and emotional stress, giving the body the space and support it needs to self heal.
