Spinal Flow Technique
The Spinal Flow Technique has been developed by Chiropractor Dr Carli Axford. After years of working as a hands-on practitioner and studying many different techniques, Dr Carli kept coming back to the body’s innate healing wisdom – the spinal wave, Chi, or Life Force, which exists in us all.
When the spinal wave flows from the top of the cranial, all the way to the bottom of the tail bone, your nerve supply to your organs will be great and your life will be in ease and health.
The 7 gateways of the spine hold different symptoms and stories of a person’s life experience are held in our body, our spine, called subluxations or blockages.
Each gateway is connected to different parts of the spine, supplies different parts of the body with nerves and has common physical and metaphysical symptoms where a blockage is held.
To assess the gateways we look at the posture of the body, physical assessments and also palpation of the spine.
When blockages are discovered in your gateways, it’s explained clearly how you are experiencing symptoms of discomfort, pain or disease. Then with a slight gentle touch to 33 access points on the cranium and sacrum, the spinal wave can increase, and your blockages decrease.
It recommended clients are assessed regularly, having a really clear idea of where we started (what the body looked, moved and felt like) and are able to see and celebrate the changes as more ease is created by the spinal wave and blockages are decreased in the body.
It is important to recognize that pain is like a warning
signal from the body,
a signal to take action and to do something
before the pain turns into serious illness and disease.
Unfortunately, life is so stressful these days, but, here’s a video of me doing a “Double Session” while I’m hosting a NZ Spinal Flow Practitioners 2 day Retreat, taking time out and paying attention to creating a Greater Change for our bodies too!
Remember…Blockages in a spine cause blockages in Your Life.
There are 3 types of blockages, Physical, Emotional and Chemical.
Physical can be birthing process, surgeries, falls,
injury, even excessive sitting.
Emotional can be abuse, trauma, feeling rejected,
holding back tears, staying silent.
Chemical can be drugs, preservatives, coffee,
gluten, dairy.
Lets work together in releasing any blockages you may have, by booking a Spinal Flow Treatment for you too!
