The Spinal Flow Technique is an effective way to heal from pain, dis-ease and illness.
Using access points on the sacrum and cranium, your body is able to release three types of stress blockages: physical, emotional and chemical. This gentle modality creates change in the body using your body’s innate intelligence for self-healing.
How does your body create spinal blockages?
Your body wants to protect you and is always ready to guard against injury and pain. When your body senses cortisol and adrenaline increasing from stress, it perceives this as a threat. The body’s automatic response is for your muscles to tense up and your nervous system to prepare you for “fight or flight” instead of a natural state of “rest and digest”.
Most of us are in a constant state of physical, chemical, and emotional stress. This ongoing pressure creates layers of tension in your body and blockages between the vertebrae of your spine. Nerves flow from your spinal cord to every organ, cell and tissue in your body. Spinal blockages constrict these nerves which prevents your body from functioning at an optimal healthy level. A disregulated nervous system leads to pain, dis-ease and illness. Symptoms and pain are your body’s way of telling you that overwhelming, prolonged stressors are taking you farther away from a healthy state of being.
Examples of stressors that create blockages
Physical Stress
Accidents · Falls · Injuries
Prolonged sitting or standing · Stomach sleeping · Poor posture
Childbirth (your own birth or giving birth)
Repetitive Movements, like bending or twisting · Heavy Lifting · Physical Labor
Inflammation · Extreme Sports · Dehydration

Environmental toxins · Prescription or over the counter medications

How can you heal?
Just like your body knows instinctively how to protect itself, it also knows how to heal itself. You’re born with an intrinsic wisdom that beats your heart, breathes your lungs, digests your food, filters nutrients, repairs cuts, regenerates cells, mends bones, cures colds and so much more. This innate intelligence is called many things: life force, qi/chi, prana, source energy, and flow.
Spinal Flow and Breathwork are modalities that increase the movement of cerebral spinal fluid to enhance your life force energy. This flow releases blockages, removes toxins and helps to regulate your nervous system. Which puts your body in an optimal state for healing and wellness.
