Longmont Spinal Flow at Blooming Massage
I'm Dayna Orton, I'm the owner of Blooming Massage. I have been a licensed massage therapist in the state of Colorado for 15 years. I am extremely passionate about helping my clients thrive, so I've been consistently learning throughout my career. I am thrilled to now be a certified Spinal Flow practitioner. Blooming Massage is now home to Longmont Spinal Flow.
WHAT IS THE SPINAL FLOW TECHNIQUE?
In Spinal Flow, the life force—referred to as Qi in Chinese Medicine or Prana in Ayurvedic practices—navigates through the nervous system, creating connections and harmony throughout the body. Spinal Flow nurtures a safe environment within, where peace is not something to pursue but rather something to uncover from within yourself. When your body feels safe, still, and present, healing can occur more swiftly. Spinal Flow facilitates this healing state within the nervous system, enabling your body to transition from a state of stress to one where true healing can flourish.
Every person has a natural intelligence that governs essential functions, such as breathing, temperature regulation, and immune support. Yet, when faced with physical, chemical, or emotional stressors, these can form blockages that hinder our bodies from functioning at their best. Such blockages can lead to heightened susceptibility to pain, illness, and discomfort. Once they are be processed and released, your symptoms can be resolved. By processing and releasing these barriers, you can pave the way for symptom relief and overall wellness.
During a spinal flow session, you are fully clothed, I encourage clients to arrive in comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. Please avoid wearing jeans and tight clothing.

Interview with Good Morning Longmont
I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Heather McChesney from Keller Williams Realty and Good Morning Longmont highlighting Longmont Spinal Flow. Take a look!
Spinal Flow Technique
The Spinal Flow Technique focuses on the 7 Gateway of the Spine and 33 access points to locate and release blockages caused by unprocessed chemical, physical, and emotional stress that got held within the body. Over time those stressors form as blockages and layers that interfering with your cerebral spinal fluid, blood, lymph and nerve impulses running through the spine, and inhibits the body's ability to heal and function properly.
Combining science with holistic healing, the Spinal Flow Technique is grounded in the belief that your body already processes everything it needs to heal, the scientific fact that your nervous system controls the function of every cell, tissue, organ and system of your body.
I am gently holding access points that communicate directly to the central nervous system, the brain and spinal cord. Subsequently, this extends out to the rest of the body--the peripheral nervous system--to activate the body’s healing response.
The nervous system consists of your brain, spinal cord, and millions of nerves. While your brain is protected by the skull, your spinal cord is protected by the 24 moving bones of the spine. Many everyday activities can cause these spinal bones to lose their normal position or motion. This can result in nervous system dysfunction and ultimately, ill health. The spinal flow approach to better health is to detect, reduce and help prevent nervous system blockages and creating more ease in the body.
This powerful yet gentle touch approach guides your body into a state of deep healing, helping your feel more at ease, grounded, and in flow. As your chemical, physical and emotional blockages release it allows the nervous system to communicate freely once again.
TAKE A GATWAY QUIZ TO SEE WHAT YOUR SPINE IS TELLING YOU ABOUT YOUR HEALTH
It’s a term we use in Spinal Flow to describe what happens when one of the vertebrae in your spine is out of alignment. When this happens, the misaligned vertebrae may create pressure on the nerves of the spinal column and the surrounding blood vessels and muscle tissue. This pressure blocks the proper flow of signals from the brain to the body (and vice versa), which affects the body’s ability to regulate itself and maintain a healthy balance. If the spinal blockage is not released, the damage to the nerves and blood supply gets progressively worse, and the body has to either compensate, or create symptoms of illness and dis-ease in order to alert you to the issue. Spinal blockages can occur in many ways. A car accident, athletic injuries, birth trauma, a fall or a sudden movement are all acute experiences that can cause the spine to move out of alignment. Spinal blockages can also occur over longer periods of time due to repetitive actions such as poor sleeping position, bad posture or repeated stress. Stress can also be emotional or chemical, and a Spinal Flow Practitioner is able to determine the type of stress that is affecting the spine and to help their clients release it and return the spine and the nervous system back to optimum functioning.
Dr. Carli Axford, a chiropractor, created the Spinal Flow Technique by building upon her extensive practical experience and passion for investigating diverse healing methods during her travels. Her work led to the discovery of the body's intrinsic healing wisdom, known as the 'Spinal Flow Wave.' This phenomenon can manifest in three distinct ways: through movement, breath, or a state of perception. In all cases, the body connects fully with the parasympathetic nervous system, facilitating the healing process. I am honored to be a part of the growing Spinal Flow community she has enriched with the tools to make a difference in people's lives.
Spinal Flow Healing Sessions
In your initial spine wellness check and 1st private healing session you will receive a posture, balance, range-of-motion and palpation assessment. We will go over your wellness questionnaire that is filled out before your appointment and discuss if any of your health issues or concerns corollate with the assessment findings to identify chemical, physical and emotional blockages. After you have a full understanding of what Spinal Flow is, what to expect during and after a session and discuss certain expectations you may have on your healing we will move forward to a 45-minute healing session. After your initial visit you have an option to continue private Spinal Flow healing sessions or Spinal Flow group healing sessions (max 3 people). Both are equally beneficial in your journey. Together can discuss what would be best for you.
Everyone's healing journey is personal and unique. As we work on releasing emotional, physical, and chemical blockages within the body, it is essential to practice self-compassion. Spinal Flow doesn’t focus on symptoms because symptoms are just the body’s way of signaling a deeper imbalance.
Instead of chasing symptoms, Spinal Flow works with the body’s innate intelligence to find and release the underlying blockages in the spine and nervous system. When these blockages clear, the body can return to its natural state of healing — and often, the symptoms naturally reduce or disappear as a result.
If you do not notice any immediate changes, do not be discouraged; this is a natural part of the process. By tuning into your body and fostering self-awareness, you can recognize the transformations occurring within you, leading to more significant shifts over time. As you continue Spinal Flow sessions I encourage your to track and fill our Longmont Spinal Flow -- Transformation Form or journal throughout your healing journey.
This journey requires patience, as you may experience periods of highs and low – stick with it as overall we are moving towards the direction of good health. Spinal Flow Healing Stories
Chemical releases may manifest as detox symptoms, including feelings of sluggishness, skin irritation, or purging. While these sensations may be uncomfortable, they signify positive change. It is advisable to hydrate adequately after a healing session.
Physical releases may leave you feeling stiff or uncomfortable, as your body requires time to adjust to the changes taking place. I suggest receiving a massage, using a heating compress, or enjoying an Epsom salt bath to ease this discomfort, knowing that these feelings will improve over time.
Emotional releases may be challenging in the moment; however, they are a necessary part of the healing process. It is beneficial to lean on your support system and engage in grounding activities such as walking in nature, journaling, or meditating.
SUBMIT YOUR WELLNESS QUESTIONNIRE - Please fill out your wellness questionnaire at least 2 days prior to your appointment allowing me to look over it ahead of your appointment.
ARRIVE ON TIME - Please be mindful of your appointment time, we are quite busy. If you arrive late to your appointment, you are missing out on time that we would like you to be on the table.
EAT WELL - Eat foods that are fresh and unprocessed. This will give your body all the nutrients and building blocks you need to heal and be as healthy as you can. Gluten and dairy can be hard for your body to digest so advise to keep to a minimum. A diet full of fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts and good protein is ideal.
REST - It can often take time to heal and repair damaged body tissues. Be gentle with your body and avoid activities that you find stressful or uncomfortable. Be particularly careful lifting objects (bend and use your legs) and reduce twisting your spine on top of your pelvis. You should only sleep on your side or back and its essential for your curvature in your neck that you use a contoured pillow.
MOVE - Without distressing your body, move as much as you can. This will help your muscles, ligaments, bones and joints to heal more quickly and fully. We are not designed to sit at a computer all day, please move and stretch every 10 minutes when sitting at a computer.
LEARN - Learn about your body, health and the healing process. People who understand more improve more quickly and get greater long-term benefits.
Everyone's healing journey is very personal and unique, and I am willing to work with what works best for you. However, just as your condition took time, probably years, to develop, resolution will take time as well, though thankfully not YEARS.
A PLAN FOR THE QUICKEST CHANGE TO OCCUR: I recommend a course of treatment would be 3 intervals of 12 sessions, the first set of 12 being 3 x a week, if possible (or more often for debilitating or acute conditions), then dropping to 2 times a week and lastly, 1 time per week. We reassess every 12th session and will adjust treatment accordingly. Every person and their healing ability is unique and individual.
Private and Group Healing Sessions are available however, group healing sessions are recommended to accommodate frequent visits a week. As a current Longmont Spinal Flow client, you are now eligible to receive group healing sessions which is often more enhanced and it's more affordable for more frequent healing sessions.
