The Spinal Flow Technique, developed by Dr. Carli Axford, is transforming lives by addressing the root causes of pain and enabling the body’s natural healing processes. This blog post highlights an inspiring story of a practitioner who witnessed an incredible transformation in a client suffering from chronic injuries and multiple health issues.

A Journey of Healing and Transformation

Debra Marshman, a Spinal Flow practitioner and the founder of Open Gates Spinal Flow, shares the remarkable journey of a man who began as her practice body. “He arrived on crutches, suffering from a severe knee injury due to years of sports,” Debra recalls. Despite the severity of his condition, the man’s body responded incredibly well to the Spinal Flow sessions.

Witnessing the Body’s Innate Wisdom

“After just a few sessions, he no longer needed the crutches. His knee became stronger, and the weakened muscles began to regain their strength,” Debra explains. But the healing didn’t stop there. The man started noticing improvements in other parts of his body as well. “One day, he mentioned his wrist had been bothering him, but after a few sessions, he noticed it felt much better. His mind became clearer, and overall, he felt more energised.”

The Interconnectedness of the Body

Dr Carli Axford highlights the holistic nature of the Spinal Flow Technique: “Even though clients come in with specific issues, we look at the entire nervous system. The brain and spinal cord supply every organ, tissue, and joint in the body. When there is better nerve supply, overall health improves.”

Debra’s client experienced this firsthand. “He calls himself my ‘pinup boy’ because he started with me and continues on the journey. He loves it,” Debra shares with a smile.

Challenging the Norm

Dr Axford challenges the common belief that ageing naturally comes with inevitable health issues. “Many people think it’s normal to have pain and health problems as they get older, but what if we didn’t accept that as the norm? What if we believed we could get healthier and feel better as we age?”

This mindset shift is essential. “Our bodies give us warning signals, just like a car does when it needs servicing. Instead of ignoring these signals or masking them with medication, we should address them through proper care like Spinal Flow sessions, good nutrition, rest, and hydration.”

Embracing Preventive Maintenance

Debra’s client embodies this proactive approach to health. “He still comes every fortnight for maintenance and even more frequently if something stressful happens in his life. He understands the importance of regular care and is committed to it,” Debra explains.

Dr Axford adds, “Spinal health is crucial because the brain, spinal cord, and nerves control every part of our body. Regular maintenance ensures that everything functions optimally, leading to overall better health.”

The Spinal Flow Certification Program offers a unique opportunity to learn this transformative modality. By understanding and facilitating the body’s natural flow of energy, practitioners can help clients achieve profound and lasting healing.
