Spinal Energetics

Spinal Energetics can guide your body to release whatever is needed that session. This might be a physical release such as tight muscles relaxing, feeling looser and more open in the body, gentle realignment or a reduction in pain.

Or it may be emotional, a release of stored emotion or clearing. We hold onto all our experiences, good and bad, and these remain stored in our energy fields, our cells and our fascia. These can show up as persistent ways of being, feeling or tension patterns in the physical body.

Spinal Energetics incorporates structural assessment with energy work and intuition, prompting the body to make changes where needed at its own pace.

Your body continues to integrate and change in the days after the session too. You may feel lighter, freer, less stressed or have less pain. Clients often feed back subtle shifts in how they think, feel or manage day to day life.

*Please note that you will be expected to lay face down on the treatment couch and there are some cautions which may mean it is not suitable for everyone, which will be covered in your initial consultation.

People can respond in different ways. This might be a change in breathing, deep sighs or emotional release, changes in posture or small involuntary movements such as little twitches. Often changes are happening internally - the client feels different, but little can witnessed by the practitioner.

They may have a sense of something shifting, see colours or imagery, a deep emotional recognition or a stillness. Fascia can shift under the skin with nothing visible to be seen on the surface. These signs are all significant and evidence of the body integrating.

It is helpful to bear in mind that while social media often shows reels of clients moving, stretching or shaking during a session, in reality most clients won’t experience such a dramatic reaction, and it is helpful not to come to your session with a preconceived idea of what it might look like.

Movement is just one way the body may choose to communicate and integrate. As clients progress with sessions, they may experience more movement as their body reorganises and releases long held tension patterns.

Most clients experience something happening on the inside, rather than a more dramatic, physical expression or movement. These sessions are no less real or profound, in fact, may be arguably more so.

Following initial consultation, the client will lay face down on the treatment couch.

The session includes assessment of tension patterns along the spine by way of palpation, light touch, checking Achilles tension and leg length.

Energy is directed to areas of restriction from the different chakras and energetic layers which surround the body. Sound forms an important part of the session - this includes breath to direct energy and the music may be louder and more dramatic than you are used to during a holistic treatment.

Total appointment time is up to 60 minutes, and includes consultation at each treatment to discuss changes and progress.

It is often helpful to have an initial short course of sessions to enable you to build your mind body connection, allow for integration between sessions and enable us to build upon this.

Early sessions may be spaced weekly or fortnightly, moving to monthly or less frequent for maintenance or as needed.
