What is Spinal flow?
What is the Spinal Flow Technique?
The Spinal Flow Technique is a holistic healing modality that focuses on the seven
gateways of the spine and 33 specific access points to identify and release
blockages within the nervous system. These blockages, often resulting from
chemical, physical, and emotional stressors, can disrupt the communication
pathways between the brain and the central and peripheral nervous systems, leading
to various health issues such as pain, disease, emotional distress and an overall
sense of disconnection.
By recognising that pain is a warning signal, a form of communication from the body,
the Spinal Flow Technique empowers individuals to take proactive steps to
significantly reduce pain and creating more ease and flow to the spine before
discomfort escalates into more severe health problems.
This approach combines genuine scientific principles with holistic healing methods to
provide a comprehensive strategy for locating and addressing blockages in ones
spine and incredibly activating the body’s own innate healing wisdom.
Through gentle contact with these access points, practitioners facilitate the release
of stored tension, restoring the body’s natural ability to heal itself. This process not
only alleviates physical symptoms but also enhances overall well-being by promoting
a balanced and harmonious state within the body.
Spinal flow is not trying to “fix” or “treat” problems but enables the body to connect
with its own innate wisdom to heal itself using the access points of the spine. There
is a Spinal Wave inside everyone and it can grow and generate more healing and
more energy through the 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 to generate more ease and flow in the body and for the Spinal Wave to
flow through the entire spine from the coccyx at the base of the spine, to the head or
cranium.
The Spinal Flow Technique has effectively treated and healed people with a wide
range of conditions including: * Pain or stiffness in the body * Headaches and
migraines * Sciatica * Stress * Low energy * Chronic fatigue * Fibromyalgia *
Digestive issues * Depression and Anxiety * Reproductive issues * Learning
Disorders * Menopause * Bulging Discs * Cancer Treatment Support and many
more.
Who Created Spinal Flow?
Spinal Flow Technique has its roots in chiropractic science and has some similarities
to osteopathy and cranio-sacral therapy, it does however have some unique
differences. Spinal Flow can relieve and resolve pain symptoms in the body by
restoring the mobility in the spinal vertebrae that may have become blocked through
life’s experiences and stressors. Drawing from her extensive hands-on experience
and a passion for exploring different methods during her career, Dr Carli Axford
confirmed the body’s natural healing wisdom that we know today as the “spinal flow
wave.” This technique is all about expanding and increasing this innate healing
capacity.
How Does Spinal Flow Work?
A certified spinal flow practitioner will communicate directly with your nervous system
by engaging with the 33 access points along your head and spine. As we contact
each access point, your body recognises it as a gateway to ease and flow, initiating a
spinal wave that ripples through your spine. This wave softens, shifts, and releases
blockages along its path.
Our commitment is to persist until we’ve cleared the way for healing. We help guide
your body from the fight-or-flight response and into the parasympathetic state of rest
and digestion, allowing your body’s innate wisdom to flow freely and facilitate its
natural healing processes.
The outcome? Not only structural realignment, release of stress and stored trauma
but also a profound sense of peace, connection, and ease.
“This technique embodies a remarkable gentleness, yet its impact is undeniably
potent.”
The 7 gateways of the spine are the primary assessment tool and language
used in the Spinal Flow Technique within your sessions. Each gateway is
intricately linked to different parts of the body, and holds different and unique
symptoms and stories that reflect an individual’s life experience, particularly
as it relates to stress, disease and injury.
It is important that you understand that when there is a blockage in a specific part of
your spine, you will experience symptoms associated with the nerve supply in that
area. These symptoms, (usually pain being the first one we listen to) result as a
direct cause and effect of that impaired nerve supply not being able to be received in
an abundant supply by our organs or appendages of the body (eg arms and legs).
This technique is truly transformative.
Our comprehensive assessment encompasses posture analysis, physical
evaluations, and spine palpation to pinpoint blockages within each gateway and
these can be communicated clearly to you and changes can be shown after every 12
sessions.
The Spinal Flow Technique is a new modality for many people, so it is natural to ask
questions. I offer a Spine Wellness check where I can explain what is going on in
your spine and the potential blockages that may be causing pain, symptoms, disease
and illness in your body.

FAQ
What is the Spinal Flow?
The spinal flow wave is the body’s innate and natural spine movement, which
becomes activated during a spinal flow treatment.
The spinal flow wave moves through the body in three ways: movement, sensing
and breathing.
Many clients comment on feeling something inside them and report feeling a deeper
connection to their body.
Dr Carli explains and demonstrates the spinal flow in the video here.
Does Spinal Flow Work?
Over the short time I have been working with the Spinal Flow Technique, I have
witnessed incredible changes in the human body. I am increasingly humbled by the
body’s willingness and desire to heal itself and bring quick and effective change.
When we improve the structure and function of the spine – healing is possible,
symptoms dissipate and people’s lives change.
Who Can Receive Spinal Flow?
We treat clients of all ages and those experiencing a range of dis-ease and
symptoms. As the technique is so gentle and also effective – anyone and everyone
can experience Spinal Flow’s benefits.
There are no contraindications for the Spinal Flow Technique. We do not know
anyone who lives in a completely stress-free environment, we are all experiencing
stress levels just in our everyday lives.
Our bodies naturally put most stress “to the back of the mind,” where it is stored in
our spinal cord as layers to deal with later. Regular spinal flow sessions help us to
grow and maintain a level of health and healing.
What Does a Healing Session Look Like?
The majority of the treatment will be conducted face-down on a treatment bed.
During the session, clients are encouraged to focus on different areas of their spine
to develop more awareness. Each session builds on the next.
We discourage going to sleep during a healing session as we want you to participate
in your health and healing. Being connected to your body is one way to help achieve
this.
How Much Do Sessions Cost?
We believe your body is your home, and your health is the foundation for a life and,
therefore, an investment.
My current fee schedule is below and there are package options available. Children
under 12 years are at a reduced price.

What Does Spinal Flow Feel Like?
Spinal Flow healing sessions are very safe and gentle. We use very gentle and
precise physical touch on specific points on the cranium and sacrum. These are
called “access points” and give the practitioner a direct pathway to the nervous
system or what we like to call the “master controller” of the body.
During a spinal flow session, clients feel relaxed and connected to their bodies.
Some clients experience twitches, heat running through their body, a change in
energy, emotional release like crying or laughter, and sometimes feels like deep
meditation or indescribable relaxation.
What is a Duo Session?
In my clinic, I will be offering “duo” or “group” sessions. The healing intention and
intensity can be higher with more people being treated simultaneously. Clients say
they enjoy connecting with their bodies, allowing integration while the other person in
the room is being treated.
Even though you are being treated in the same room, your privacy is always
paramount; if personal information needs to be allayed, a separate appointment time
can be allocated for this. The ease and flow during a healing session is effortless; it
works!
How Often Will I Require Sessions?
Every person will have different requirements because every person is different!
Some people have immediate results, but others find that their recovery takes time.
Someone with long-standing acute issues may tend to heal more slowly and require
more frequent treatments initially.
As clients start to experience change and healing, the frequency of treatments
reduces. Most treatments are 30 minutes each unless you have longer appointments
booked. Allow for a total of 45 minutes.
Children tend to respond to healing sessions very quickly.
We have clients who see us weekly, fortnightly, monthly, six times weekly, or
whenever they feel their bodies need a healing session.
Can I Receive a Rebate for My Sessions?
The spinal flow technique is regulated by its own professional body, not AHPRA;
private health rebates are not applicable.
What if I Can’t Lie Down?
Whilst lying facedown is preferable, the Spinal Flow technique can be performed in
many positions, enabling anyone and everyone to benefit from this healing modality.
For those who may find lying face down on the table uncomfortable or complex, we
can access points on the back, side or upright in a chair.
If a client has NDIS funding then it is possible to claim, it is dependent on each
individual and the package they are entitled to.
Can I Have an Online Session?
The Spinal Flow Technique is a hands-on modality;
Can Children Come to a Session?
If you are booked as a single client or as a family, then yes, of course. However, if
you are booked for a group “duo session,” I cannot accommodate children waiting in
the space. There is no waiting area, and it may be disruptive for my other clients.
