Spinal Flow® Technique is a blend and coming together of many different modalities and approaches to healing that worked for Dr. Carli Axford, a Chiropractor, and helped her clients heal. Most modalities including the ones below are a blend of a practitioner’s experience plus learnt technique. Spinal Flow® Technique uses touch, palpation, anatomical postural assessments and the 7 gateways of the spine to help locate spinal blockages.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR INITIAL SPINAL FLOW VISIT
Health History - your Spinal Flow Practitioner will ask you to complete a comprehensive history of your past and present illness, injuries and symptoms and may ask you for additional information about your past and current health and lifestyle choices.
Dress - initial visit assessments and Spinal Flow sessions are performed fully clothed, in the attire you arrive in and no change of clothes is required. If booking with a massage, Spinal Flow is performed first. Please wear loose fitting clothing (no spandex), and please avoid wearing denim jeans with large seams as they can interfere with access points.
Your practitioner will:
Assess your posture
Identify areas of blockages and areas of ease or where there is flow, by observing you during some simple movements
Feel specifically at each vertebra level to identify where there are any specific blockages, which impede nerve and energy flow, as well as identify if your body is holding any stress in a chemical, emotional or physical way.
DURING YOUR SPINAL FLOW TREATMENT:
Your Spinal Flow Practitioner will lightly touch areas of openness in the body called “access points”, without any manual manipulation of the spine.
By gently contacting these “access points”, our intention is to open up the areas of blockages and allow the body to release stressors from the spine and nervous system and thus encouraging a “spinal wave”.
TESTIMONIALS
“Spinal Flow really works for me. I was pain-free (without taking any daily muscle relaxers) after my 1st session through my remaining sessions for about 2 weeks until the monthly hormones kicked in. I will continue Spinal Flow maintenance as it’s nice NOT to pop a pill everyday to cope with the pain.The sound therapy with the gong was a great way to start the sessions. The sound vibrations got all the energy kickstarted! The tingles were from head to toe! If you’re sensitive to sound let Karin know, she is awesome with ensuring you have the best experience.
P.S. The incorporated massage was also well worth it! If you decide to try it, I hope you have similar results to what I encounter. As this is a form of energy body work, it was very important for me to keep an open mind, otherwise I may as well stuck to the meds, which my current belief is the meds were just eating my insides and I too believe the body is a natural healer.
I wish you a similar experience to mine or better, should you choose to experience it 🤗.” Tamara W., Grande Prairie, Alberta
