What is the Spinal Flow Technique?

The Spinal Flow Technique is a light touch healing modality that focuses on the spinal column, nervous system, and the body’s innate healing intelligence. Access points on the sacrum and cranium are employed to help the body release physical, chemical, and emotional stress by supporting the flow of nerve signals along the spine and through the entire nervous system.

How important is the nervous system to the overall balance of the body?

The nervous system is the body’s communication highway. It’s the main system responsible for sending, receiving, and processing signals throughout the body. It is the operating system that controls not only our bodily functions and responses, but our life experience and how we interact with the world around us.

What makes up the nervous system? 

The Central Nervous System – consisting of the Brain and the Spinal Column

The Peripheral Nervous System – connects the Central Nervous System to the rest of the body.

 

The Peripheral Nervous System consists of:

The Somatic Nervous System – which controls voluntary movement and communicates sensory information from the skin, muscles, and joints.

The Autonomic Nervous System – which controls the involuntary functions of the body.

 

The Autonomic Nervous System consists of:

The Sympathetic Nervous System – Fight or flight

The Parasympathetic Nervous System – rest and digest

When looking at the Nervous System we also need to consider our Fascia System. Fascia is a direct extension of the Dura, a membrane that is part of the Meninges. The Meninges is a layered membrane system that protects the Brain and the Central Nervous System.

Fascia wraps and protects the nerves, veins, and organs of the body. It encases our muscles and runs through them like a spider web. It also contains nerve endings and is continuously collecting and communicating information back to our Nervous System. These two systems are intimately connected and work hand in hand to support movement, perception and health.

When this communication highway is clear and balanced, your body functions with ease.
When it's congested or blocked, due to stress, trauma, or misalignment, the body will experience dis-ease.

How does The Spinal Flow Technique support healing?

The Spinal Flow Technique supports the body to locate; process and release interference being held in the nervous and Fascia system. This allows the body to rebalance and heal itself. This could look like reduced muscle tension and pain, postural improvement, better health, and faster recovery. Spinal Flow will also help to strengthen the connection between you and your intuition, supporting creativity and problem solving.

The goal of the Spinal Flow Technique is to optimize the health and function of the spinal column as its health is critical to the overall wellbeing of the body. We exploit the interconnectedness of the nervous system to every area of the body, knowing that improved spinal health will translate into improved overall health, ease and balance. Spinal Flow is not a magic bullet, and one session will not fix everything. However, if you are commited to your wellness and are prepared to invest some time, change is possible.

How can Reiki support me?

 

Reiki is a Japanese word meaning “Universal Life Force Energy”. It is a vibrational energy technique that balances, harmonizes, and restores our energy systems. Reiki works on the etheric and physical bodies and goes beyond symptoms to treat the root cause of dis-ease.

Reiki relieves the physical and psychological aspects of pain and discomfort by relaxing your muscles, calming your state of mind, and enhancing the energy flow throughout the body.

The source of pain is often rooted in emotional and mental disturbances. Reiki and Spinal Flow not only soothe the affected area of the body but also address the root cause by shifting energy blocks and allowing the body’s natural healing energy to flow freely again.
