Access your body's innate healing intelligence & restore balance to your life with Spinal Flow®
This is a gentle, non‑invasive, light-touch therapy, that focuses on the spine & the nervous system.
Your nervous system comprises your brain & your spinal cord. When there are blockages disrupting the free flow of energy & communication up & down the spinal cord, our nerve function is impeded. When nerves cannot function optimally. we see dis-ease & ailments presenting throughout the body.
Modern medicine seeks to investigate & treat symptoms; Spinal Flow seeks to find the underlying root cause.
With Spinal Flow, we locate & remove layers of physical, chemical, & emotional blockages with ease & flow, instead of resistance & force.
We find areas of ease along the spine, called access points, where we gently make direct contact with the outermost layer of the meninges protecting the spinal cord.
In doing so, we directly communicate with your central nervous system, stimulating cerebrospinal fluid to flow freely up & down the spinal cord. Sometimes sessions feel extremely subtle; sometimes there is a physically felt & visible 'spinal wave' or flow, where the spine moves to release blockages & increase energy.
This beautiful modality is rooted in the knowing that our bodies hold the ability to heal in flow, not force; we allow the body to move from survival mode in to its natural healing state.
This is truly possible for you, & I'd love to show you how.
What is Spinal Flow Technique®?
Your Spinal Flow Sessions
Each Spinal Flow session builds on the previous session/s: many clients experience positive change from their first session. For others, it's more gradual. We're looking to make consistent change by removing layers of chemical, emotional & physical stress. Consistency is key.
Re-assessment
Your 12th appointment is where we assess the changes from your very first appointment. This is an exciting part of the journey. We carry out our posture & gateway assessments as we did in our first session, take new posture photos, & discuss findings & changes. You'll also enjoy a 30-minute Spinal Flow session.
Your Initial Assessment
During your first 70-minute appointment we carry out a full postural & gateway assessment, & discuss your history. We also take posture photos to refer back to at a later date. We then move in to your first Spinal Flow session: you'll be lying fully-clothed, face-down on the massage couch for 30-minutes of Spinal Flow.

FAQs
How does Spinal Flow Technique® work?
Sometimes people feel emotional during a session. Remember, we are working directly with the nervous system. Consequently, as we release layers of physical, emotional, & chemical stress from the body, it would be very normal to feel emotion, & all emotions are welcome.
How does Spinal Flow feel?
What happens during a session?
Will I feel emotional?
By finding areas of ease along the spine, called access points, we are able to make direct contact with the outermost layer of the meninges - the membrane that encases your spinal cord. This gentle, hands-on contact is directly communicating with your central nervous system, & activating your body's innate intelligence to free-up blockages & release layers of stress.
Spinal Flow has foundations in chiropractic science, & was developed by a chiropractor. However, unlike chiropractic, I'll not be adjusting, 'cracking', or manipulating blockages. I focus on making gentle contact on areas of ease, either side of any blockages, thereby allowing your body to initiate its own flow of CSF fluid which serves to restore your spine & spinal cord - the very foundation of your central nervous system - to optimum health. This is gentle, soothing, & is suitable for a great many people of all ages (including babies all the way up to the elderly).
Is it like going to the chiropractor?
Initial consultations are 1 hour 10 minutes in duration & cost £70. Moving forward, we work together to tailor a programme uniquely for you. I charge £45 for 30-minute healing sessions (packages are available), with a complimentary re-assessment session at your 12th appointment.
Is Spinal Flow® suitable & safe during pregnancy?
Yes, it is extremely safe during pregnancy, & can also provide great relief during labour. Sessions can be carried out lying face down on special pregnancy pillows, or lying on your side. Please contact me to if you'd like to find out more.
How much do sessions cost?
The touch is very light & many clients feel extremely relaxed during sessions & afterwards. Many people drift off in to a meditative state; some prefer to stay alert & present. During the session itself, you may feel sensations in your spine & others areas of your body. You might experience feelings of warmth, tingling, 'popping', Some clients feel a 'wave' along their spine (known as the spinal wave or flow) & you may feel your spine, & other areas of your body, physically moving. For others, sensations are more subtle. Each person & session is different; your experience will be unique to you.
Is this suitable for babies, children & teenagers?
Yes - that's one of the beautiful things about Spinal Flow® - because it's so gentle, it is suitable for newborn babies, children, teens, & adults of all ages.
Where are Spinal Flow® Sessions held?
I work from my studio in Olney, Buckinghamshire, & have a variety of appointment days & times available. You can see all of my available appointments here.
How should I expect to feel after my session?
As your nervous system recalibrates, please know that it would not be unusual to feel exhausted, out of sorts & in heightened emotional states following your Spinal Flow session. We are complex beings: being patient & loving towards ourselves as we navigate these shifts is key.
That said, many people feel lighter, less tense, more relaxed & well-rested after a session. Many clients report sleeping well following Spinal Flow sessions also.
How many sessions will I need?
The effects of Spinal Flow tend to progressively build with each session, & undertaking a course of sessions is always recommended. We can discuss this over the phone or at your initial consultation appointment.
You'll be fully clothed & lying face down on the massage table. I very gently work on the spine, & make contact with areas of ease (primarily the sacrum, coccyx & cranium). This contact signals safety & ease to the body. It also serves to increase your body's flow of cerebrospinal fluid up & down your spinal cord, which promotes optimum health through the entire nervous system.
Sometimes, when we are experiencing healing, symptoms can often present a little worse before they improve - this is actually a positive sign that shifts are happening.

“Spinal Flow with Liane was amazing - I couldn't believe how effective this was & how much I felt in my body during the session. In my last session I could feel my spine moving entirely of it's own accord. It was such a strange experience but also very gentle. I feel so much lighter & my neck & lower back pain had dramatically lessened after the first session. After three sessions I'm feeling so much more free in my body & my mind.”
