~ Spinal Flow ~ Your place of Healing from Within
Healing with the Spinal Flow® Technique works with the body’s innate healing intelligence. Spinal Flow uses touch, palpation, anatomical posture assessments and the 7 gateways of the spine to help locate spinal blockages.
The three most common forms of stress store as spinal blockages - Physical Stress, Chemical Stress and Emotional Stress.
Pain, illness, discomfort and dis-ease can all be linked to blockages in the spine.
Life sometimes throws us curveballs
Your body could need a helping hand ~ Spinal Flow may make all the difference
Life's challenges know no bounds, and when we are subjected to continuous stressors - physical, chemical and emotional - our natural adaptive capabilities are overwhelmed and our bodies can do nothing other than hold onto these. The nerve reflexes cause a muscular reaction which can then go on to distort the spinal alignment - blockages occur. These blockages then impact the messages being sent from your brain to your nervous system and ultimately every organ, muscle and cell in your body. Spinal Flow works with your body’s natural healing intelligence to find, release and correct blockages. Your body works at the time, pace and exact location that is correct for you - something that only your body knows.
Spinal Flow Technique is a transformative touch-based therapy releasing stress and blockages in the 7 gateways of the spine
I'm Shelly, your Certified Spinal Flow Practitioner
Hi there!
I'm honoured to be a part of your journey toward healing and wellness. My own personal journey has incorporated multiple healing modalities over the years. Spinal Flow resonated with me as a way to connect to the innate intelligence within your body so it can move towards healing by removing stress and blockages from the spine and clearing interference from the nervous system.
Life’s Stressors - the Causes of Nervous System Blockages
Life’s demands and stressors are stored in our nervous system when our natural adaptive capacity is overwhelmed. Over time these stressors accumulate, leading to blockages along the spine’s 7 gateways. This strains our bodies, affects posture and disrupts communication between the brain and body, impacting both the central and peripheral nervous systems. When this communication breaks down the body is no longer receiving vital messages from the brain and pain, dis-ease and illness can result.
Physical Stress
Sporting injuries, motor vehicle accidents, poor posture and repetitive movements can lead to mis-alignments in the spine causing nerve compression and disruption. Sedentary jobs and lifestyles, lack of exercise and inadequate self-care practices can contribute to nervous system imbalances and ultimately spinal blockages.
Chemical Stress
Exposure to toxins and chemicals in the air we breathe, the foods we eat, skin care products we use, pharmaceuticals we ingest, toiletries we bath and shower with and laundry products we use to wash our clothes can all store in our bodies and result in blockages.
Emotional Stress
Emotional and mental stress can create tension in the body leading to muscle stiffness and restricted nerve pathways. Unresolved emotions and past traumas can manifest in the subconscious as physical tension and impact proper and uninhibited nerve function.
What is the Spinal Wave?
While Spinal Flow was born out of chiropractic science and has some similarities to osteopathy and cranio-sacral therapy, it has unique differences. Spinal flow is not trying to “fix” or “treat” problems but enables the body to connect with its innate wisdom to heal using the access points of the spine to release blockages. There is a Spinal Wave inside everyone and it can grow and generate more healing and more energy through Spinal Flow Technique. The Spinal Wave has three forms - a breathing wave, a sensing wave and a moving wave. The goal of Spinal Flow Technique is for the Spinal Wave to flow through the entire spine from the coccyx, or base gateway, to the head, or awaken gateway.
The Gateways of the Spine……
The main assessment tool used in Spinal Flow Technique are the 7 gateways of the spine. By diagnosing blockages in the 7 gateways and using contact with the access points on the head and sacrum, Spinal Flow Technique increases spinal flow through the Spinal Wave and releases spinal blockages. With the spinal blockages corrected, our body’s aptitude to heal itself is reinstated.
