Spinal Flow Care

One of my favorite parts of Spinal Flow is how easy it is to see and feel what’s happening in the body.
As practitioners, we’re able to clearly communicate the patterns we observe. During the initial assessment, we can feel where the body is holding, protecting, or adapting. And clients don’t have to take our word for it, they’re empowered to connect specific pain points with their overall health, helping them better understand their body and notice the changes after each session.
Seeing shifts in posture, balance, and ease of movement makes progress tangible and empowering. The body gives clear feedback, and the changes are something clients can recognize for themselves. 🌿

The Vagus Nerve Listens Before It Regulates 🌿
Most people think the vagus nerve’s job is to calm the body.
But that’s not where it begins.
About 80% of vagus nerve fibers carry information from the body to the brain.
Its primary role isn’t to relax you, it’s to continuously inform the brain about what’s happening internally.

Before regulation can occur, the nervous system is quietly asking:
“Do I have enough safety to shift states?”
That sense of safety is shaped by sensory input from the body, including information coming through the spine.

When sensory input is altered by persistent tension, protective guarding, old injury patterns, or chronic stress, the nervous system may remain in a state of heightened vigilance.

🌊 This is where Spinal Flow fits.
Spinal Flow doesn’t force calm or override stress responses.
It supports clearer communication within the nervous system by gently removing blockages to reducing patterns of tension in the body.

As the body begins to perceive greater safety, regulation can emerge more easily, tension softens in the muscles, circulation improves, inflammation deceases, and fight-or-flight patterns start to unwind.

The vagus nerve doesn’t create safety.

💫 It reflects the state the nervous system is receiving.

🌿 Hello, I’m a Spinal Flow Practitioner 🌿
Spinal Flow came into my life quietly, at a moment when I needed gentleness, not fixing. This beautiful, heart-centered practice helped me slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with my body’s natural wisdom. It reminded me that ease, joy, and healing have always lived inside us.
Now I share this work with others, creating a calm, supportive space where you can soften, release tension, and simply be. There’s nothing to figure out, just room to breathe, rest, and reconnect.
If life feels full, heavy, or a little overwhelming, you don’t have to carry it alone. I’m here to hold space and gently remind you how to come back to yourself… and flow again 🌱

Think of the nervous system as the conductor of the body’s orchestra. Every system digestion, immunity, movement, energy, and rest listens for its cues. When the conductor is overwhelmed or out of rhythm, the music can feel disjointed, no matter how talented the musicians are. Spinal Flow supports the nervous system by helping the conductor find ease, clarity, and balance again, allowing the body’s systems to communicate more clearly and play in harmony the way they were designed to.

🩺✨ Did you know doctors use vibration to check nerve health?
During a neurological exam, a doctor may use a 128 Hz tuning fork and place it on your fingers or toes. They’re not testing sound, they’re testing how well your nerves communicate.
If the vibration is hard to feel, it can signal that nerve messages aren’t flowing clearly between the body and the brain. This helps doctors identify things like peripheral nerve issues or spinal involvement.
🌊 This is where Spinal Flow comes in.
Your nervous system is designed to communicate continuously, brain to body, body to brain. When there is stored stress, tension, or interference along the spine, that communication can become distorted or dampened, much like a vibration that fades too quickly.
Spinal Flow focuses on supporting the body’s natural ability to:
• Improve nerve communication
• Release stored stress from the spinal cord
• Restore clarity in how messages travel through the body
✨ Sometimes it’s not about adding something new it’s about restoring the flow that was already there.

The body already knows how to love, sometimes it just needs a little reminder to flow again. 💞

Happy Saturday! 🌺 I often see clients collagen improve making their skin look younger and more supple. Well it’s no coincidence that collagen and the nervous system are interconnected!

If you’re a nerd like me and like to dive into the science, here’s some interesting information:

Collagen and the nervous system are connected through the extracellular matrix (ECM), a dynamic network of proteins and other molecules that provides both structural and biochemical support to nerve tissues. Far from being a passive scaffold, collagen within the ECM plays active roles in nerve development, function, and repair, influencing neural cells and their surrounding environment.

The structural connection
* Peripheral nervous system (PNS): In the PNS, collagen is a major component of the basal lamina, a layer surrounding Schwann cells that insulate and support nerve fibers. This collagen framework gives peripheral nerves their structural integrity and guides the regeneration of axons after an injury.
* Central nervous system (CNS): Although traditionally thought to be less prevalent in the central nervous system, collagen is found in specific areas like the meninges (the brain's protective layers) and the blood-brain barrier. It also contributes to the structure of perineuronal nets, specialized ECM structures that surround and stabilize neuronal synapses.

The biochemical connection
* Cell signaling: The specific type of collagen and its structural integrity send biochemical and biomechanical signals to neural and glial cells. For instance, certain collagen types interact with cell-surface receptors like integrins and discoidin domain receptors (DDRs), influencing cell behavior.
* Neural development: During development, specific collagen isoforms, including types I, IX, and XVIII, are crucial for proper neuronal maturation, axon guidance, and the formation of neural circuits.
* Modulating inflammation: Collagen affects the immune response within the nervous system. After an injury or in disease, the breakdown of collagen can expose new binding sites that promote inflammation. In contrast, healthy collagen can help reduce inflammation.

The connection in disease and injury
* Nerve regeneration: Collagen plays a distinct role in nerve repair for the PNS and CNS.
* PNS: After a peripheral nerve injury, collagen is significantly upregulated and helps create the necessary microenvironment for Schwann cells to migrate, proliferate, and regenerate axons. In contrast, too much collagen can form scar tissue that obstructs this regeneration.
* CNS: In the CNS, reactive astrocytes produce excess collagen (especially type IV) that contributes to the glial scar, which acts as a barrier to axon regeneration.
* Neurodegenerative diseases: Damaged collagen has been implicated in conditions like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, particularly in its effect on the blood-brain barrier and the brain's inflammatory response.
* Congenital syndromes: Some genetic disorders, such as congenital myasthenic syndrome 19, are caused by mutations in collagen-related genes, highlighting collagen's importance for proper neuromuscular function.

The therapeutic connection
Due to its biocompatibility, biodegradability, and natural presence in nerve tissue, collagen is used in various therapeutic strategies for neural repair.
* Nerve conduits: Collagen is used to create biodegradable nerve conduits that bridge large nerve gaps in the peripheral nervous system and guide axon regrowth.
* Scaffolds and gels: In the central nervous system, collagen scaffolds can be used to locally deliver therapeutic factors and stem cells to promote neuroprotection and regeneration following injuries or neurodegenerative diseases.
* Mimetic peptides: Researchers are exploring collagen-mimetic peptides to repair damaged collagen and restore normal nerve tissue mechanics and signaling.
