At White Feather Healings, we honour the quiet wisdom of the body.
Today, let’s gently explore the nerve supply from T7–T12 and why this area is so important for both physical and emotional healing.
🌿 The science behind T7–T12
These thoracic nerves sit in the mid-to-lower spine and are a key communication pathway between the brain and many vital organs, including:
• Stomach
• Liver & gallbladder
• Pancreas
• Small & large intestines
• Kidneys & adrenal glands
• Abdominal muscles and core stability
From a physiological perspective, this region is closely linked to digestion, metabolism, energy regulation, and the body’s stress response.
🧠 Stress, trauma & the nervous system
When someone experiences ongoing stress, unresolved trauma, or emotional overwhelm, the nervous system can become stuck in patterns of fight, flight, freeze, or shutdown.
Over time, the T7–T12 segments may remain overactivated or under-responsive, which can affect the body’s ability to:
• Digest and absorb nutrients efficiently
• Regulate blood sugar and energy levels
• Feel grounded, safe, and supported from within
This isn’t a personal failing — it’s a protective response shaped by the nervous system doing its best to keep us safe.
💫 Emotional patterns often linked with T7–T12
Clinically and energetically, this region is often associated with themes such as:
• Survival and control
• Fear around safety, security, or stability
• Suppressed or unprocessed emotions
• Carrying responsibility and “holding it all together” for too long
The body remembers — not as a story, but as tension, holding, and altered nerve signalling.
🌊 How Spinal Flow Technique can help
Spinal Flow Technique works with the nervous system by gently supporting the release of stored spinal tension and improving communication between the brain and body.
As these pathways become clearer, the nervous system may begin to shift out of survival mode and into rest, repair, and regulation.
This can create the internal conditions where the body feels safe enough to:
• Settle
• Self-regulate
• Restore balance over time
✨ Spinal work isn’t just about relieving physical discomfort — it’s about supporting the nervous system so healing can unfold naturally, at the body’s pace.
🪶 Your body is always communicating.
Sometimes it simply needs to feel safe, supported, and listened to 🤍
