The Spinal Flow® Technique was developed by Dr. Carli Axford with over 20 years of research, observation and clinical success. It combines her understanding of the spine, nervous system and Life Force Energy into a simple method that harnesses the body’s innate ability to heal itself.

Our bodies are equipped with a natural healing intelligence, housed within the nervous system, that helps protect us when a perceived threat enters our lives. This instinctive self-preservation triggers the nervous system and spine to lock down, blocking the vital flow of energy. These threats, or stressors, manifest in three primary forms: physical, chemical, and emotional. Physical stressors include injury, trauma, or repetitive movement patterns that strain the body, leading to misalignment. Chemical stressors are toxins, poor diet, or environmental pollutants that interfere with the body’s natural balance. Emotional stressors, on the other hand, arise from unresolved feelings, trauma, or ongoing mental stress, which affect our emotional well-being.

If these stressors are not released, they can create blockages within what are known as the 7 gateways of the spine. A blockage occurs when the nervous system’s natural communication pathways are obstructed, preventing the body’s ability to regenerate and heal itself. Over time, these blockages accumulate, disrupting the flow of energy and leaving the body vulnerable to pain, illness, and a disconnection from our true selves.
