At Untethered Flow we specialize in Spinal Flow,  a gentle, hands-on technique that helps your body release stored stress, tension, and emotional blocks by  working with the nervous system. Developed by Dr. Carli Axford, it has been designed to support your body's natural ability to heal- without force, manipulation or pressure.

At the heart of Spinal Flow is the understanding that your spine is your lifeline. It houses your central nervous system, which controls how you feel, function and heal. When stress from trauma gets stored in the body- whether physical, emotional or chemical it often creates blockages along the spine that interrupt the flow of communication between the brain and body. This can show up as symptoms like pain, fatigue, anxiety, digestive issues, or even a sense of disconnect. 

Rather than fixing these issues, Spinal Flow gently encourages the body to unwind them. During a session we connect with specific contacts along your spine called access points, which connect directly to the dura mater and central nervous system. These points signal to the brain that is it safe to relax, reset, and release stored tension. From there, the body begins to move from a stressed, fight- or- flight state into a parasympathetic state where healing can occur. 

Spinal Flow works in harmony with your body's rhythms- facilitating a wave like movement and energy through the spine known as the Spinal Flow Wave. This wave helps the nervous system process unresolved patterns and emotions, while restoring communication between all systems of the body.

This technique honours your body's inner intelligence and supports it to release what it's ready to let go of, layer by layer.  It is deeply relaxing, trauma-aware, and designed to meet you exactly where you are, whether you are experiencing chronic stress, emotional overwhelm, physical pain or simply a desire to feel more connected and free in your body.
