FAQ about Spinal Flow – Healing Feather Wellness

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Spinal Flow? Spinal Flow is a healing modality aiming to release blockages in the spine and nervous system, promoting self-healing. It involves gentle touch, palpation, and assessments to locate and release blockages, potentially leading to physical, emotional, and mental well-being improvements.
What is experienced during a treatment? Everyone is different and each treatment is different as things change with your body. Some clients are breathers (their breathing will change) while others are movers, which means their body will make different movements during the treatment, and then there is everything in between. Just trust that your body will do what it needs at that particular moment, then allow it to do so.
Where will my Spinal Flow treatment take place? This is depending on the location of the practitioner, but treatments should be done in a nice relaxing environment. They can either be held in a small private room or a larger room as some practitioners will have the option for a group setting where they will work on more than one person at a time.
Do I need to undress for my treatment? No, all assessments and treatments are done clothed, but you should wear lose fitting clothing and not jeans to your appointments. This is so the practitioner can find the access points easier and you’re more comfortable.
How will I feel after a Spinal Flow treatment? Everyone is different and are receiving the treatments for their own individual issues, but most will feel very heavy at first and then a lightness will occur along with the other benefits listed above. Some may have a slight headache or other ill feelings depending upon the levels of stress their body is releasing, but these will subside.
How does Spinal Flow work? It works by releasing blockages from the nervous system to provide connection to the spinal cord and brain so the nervous system can communicate, and the healing can begin.

What should I do during a Spinal Flow treatment? Most treatments are done lying face down on a massage table while the client simply focuses on the sensation of their body and allows their body to do its own thing (relax, twitch, breath changes, etc.).
How long is the treatment? The first initial treatment is around 45 minutes to an hour long with the middle treatments lasting approximately 20 minutes. So, planning on an hour for each assessment treatment and a half hour for the other treatments should provide you with a more accurate timeframe for your appointments.

How much is a Spinal Flow treatment? That depends on the location of the practitioner and what other trainings they have. On average, treatments can range from $65 USD to $100 USD per treatment. Typically, the first treatment is higher because it’s a long session including both the assessment and treatment.

Chemicals builds stress in our body every day, but we are trained to ignore them.
What is Physical Stress? Our daily lives incur physical stress from our jobs to our workouts and activities we enjoy. Our body uses physical force to do many things which we tend to take for granted, like a mother carrying her child on her hip, a hygienist or dentists leaning over their patients, a farmer working the fields, a store clerk stocking shelfs, and the list goes on. The repetitive motions which strain or wears on our body’s muscles is physical stress that becomes stored in our nervous system to allow us to endure the unpleasant endeavors we continue to do.
What is Emotional Stress? This type of stress is one of the deepest in the nervous system. Emotional stress can start at birth or even before depending on the situation. It can come from traumas, fear, loneliness, things we went through like grief or loss to not feeling wanted.

Each of us has stored emotional stress of some form in our nervous system, whether known or unknown, it’s there.
