Emotionally, she has made huge strides. She can now regulate her emotions more effectively and recovers quickly from distress. She is open to trying new foods, showing less tactile defensiveness and greater willingness to engage with different textures. “The changes are just amazing,” her mother shared.

Dr Carli, the founder of the Spinal Flow Technique modality shares that in her previous practice in Melbourne, she saw many children on the autism spectrum. Families would come to her seeking help, and she would often find blockages at the top of the spine, specifically at C1, the pause gateway. When these blockages were cleared, it allowed the brain’s messages to flow more freely through the body, leading to significant improvements in symptoms like constipation, sleep difficulties, and social engagement.

Parents and teachers frequently reported these changes. “Teachers would say, ‘I don’t know what’s happened, but they’re focusing more, writing better, and participating more.’ These changes are life-altering for the children and their families.”
