Spinal Flow, Back Pain & Nervous System Care with Dr Carli Axford

Show: The Aging Project

Today you'll meet Dr Carli Axford, founder of the Spinal Flow Technique, about a new way of looking at back pain, spinal tension, stress, and the nervous system.

We know around 4 million Australians live with back problems, and as we age, back pain can affect far more than movement. It can impact sleep, mood, confidence, independence, and overall quality of life.

Dr Carli explains what Spinal Flow is, how it differs from traditional chiropractic or physiotherapy, and why more women in midlife are exploring nervous-system-based approaches to pain, tension, and healing.

In this episode, we cover:

What Spinal Flow is, in simple terms How the spine and nervous system are connected
Why stress can show up physically in the body
What “blockages” mean in The 7 gateways of the spine
What actually happens during a Spinal Flow session
Why some people experience emotional release or spontaneous movement
The links between chronic stress, menopause, pain, sleep, inflammation, digestion, pelvic floor symptoms, headaches, jaw tension, and nervous system overload
Whether Spinal Flow may be suitable for women with osteoporosis, post-surgical spines, or menopause-related symptoms
What skeptics should know When back pain needs medical investigation
Practical ways to support spinal health through posture, breath, stress reduction, and nervous-system care

This conversation is a reminder that the body is deeply connected — and that pain is not always just about tissue damage. Sometimes, the body isn’t broken. It’s overloaded.

Please share this episode with those who need to hear it.

If we want to live 120 healthy years we must make better choices for our spine.
