Spinal Flow

Gentle healing through the wisdom of your spine

What is Spinal Flow Technique?

Spinal Flow is a gentle, light-touch healing modality that works with the 33 access points along your spine. Rather than forcing the body into alignment, it invites your nervous system to release stored tension — physical, chemical, and emotional — so healing can happen naturally.

Developed by Dr. Carli Axford, this technique recognises that the spine is the central highway of your nervous system. When flow is restored, the body's innate intelligence takes over, guiding itself back to balance and health.

The 7 Gateways of the Spine

Spinal Flow works with seven key areas along the spine, each connected to different aspects of your physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing.

1

Sacral Gateway

The foundation — connected to safety, grounding, and survival instincts.

2

Solar Plexus Gateway

Your centre of personal power, confidence, and self-worth.

3

Heart Gateway

The bridge between lower and upper gateways — love, compassion, and connection.

4

Throat Gateway

Expression, communication, and speaking your truth.

5

Third Eye Gateway

Intuition, clarity, and inner wisdom.

6

Crown Gateway

Spiritual connection, purpose, and higher consciousness.

7

Coccyx Gateway

The release point — where stored tension and trauma are finally let go.
