Clients who move a lot during a session are often those who have experienced a significant amount of this work. Not because the work is creating more movement over time, but because the nervous system has developed a level of trust, in the practitioner, in the space and in itself, that allows the body to express more freely than it could in earlier sessions.

In the beginning the nervous system is cautious. It is assessing. Deciding whether this environment is safe enough to let its guard down & as that safety is established session by session, the body becomes more comfortable expressing what it has been holding in whatever way feels most natural to it.
For some that looks like larger movement. For others it remains subtle and internal. Both are equally valid expressions of a nervous system doing its work.

What you are watching in this footage is not someone having a better session than a client who barely moves. You are watching someone whose nervous system has learned, through accumulated experience of this work, that it is safe to fully express what it is carrying. That permission alone is profound.

Practitioner featured is Jesse Akkerman - Spinal Energetics - Somana Method and the client featured is a regular client of our group sessions and a trained level 1 Spinal Energetics practitioner

If you’ve experienced Level 1, you already know the power of dropping into your body and allowing your nervous system to lead the way.

Level 2 takes that journey deeper.

At this level, the work begins to access not only the spine but also the organs, recognising that our body stores experience, emotion and memory far beyond what the mind can consciously recall. The spine acts as a central channel of intelligence, while the organs hold their own wisdom, often carrying the weight of unprocessed stress, grief, fear, and tension accumulated over a lifetime.

Through precise contact along the spinal structures and energetic connection to the organ systems, the body is invited to soften, unwind, and reorganise from within. This is not something that is done to the client, it is something the body does itself with the practitioner serving as a skilled guide.

What clients frequently describe:

✦ A deeper sense of safety within their own body
✦ Emotional releases that feel natural and freeing
✦ Sensations of warmth, movement or release through the torso and organs
✦ Greater clarity, groundedness, and self-awareness
✦ A strengthened connection between mind, body, and spirit

Level 2 is not about doing more it is about allowing more. The body knows exactly what it needs and at this level, that wisdom becomes increasingly accessible.

Precision is everything in Spinal Energetics. Kristina reads the spine like a map, noting each point of tension, each held breath, each place where energy has been frozen in place. Her touch is exact, never rushed, following the body’s own intelligence rather than imposing upon it.

Spinal Energetics works directly with the pathways that govern your fight-or-flight response, helping the body shift out of chronic bracing and back into a state where it can genuinely rest, digest and heal. When the nervous system has been stuck “on” for years, whether from stress, trauma or simply the weight of holding everything together, this kind of precise, attuned work allows it permission to finally power down.

Saturdays are open for booking and it is the perfect way to begin your weekend. Rather than collapsing into recovery mode after a long week, you arrive already carrying tension and leave regulated, clear and genuinely restored.
No rushing to work on Monday morning still holding stress in your shoulders, just space to properly reset.

Spots fill quickly online and in person, so if you have been meaning to book, this Saturday might well be the one!

Jesse worked with Jayden’s spine directly, following the body’s own communication, reading where the tension lived and responding to what the nervous system was ready to release. No cracking. No forcing. No manipulation. Just precise intentional work that let the body do what it already knew how to do.

After his session Jayden shared that his back pain had shifted in a way that other treatments had not been able to achieve.

This is what we want more men to know.

You do not need to keep managing pain that the body is ready to release. You do not need a dramatic reason to come in. Physical tension, tightness and the kind of back pain that just will not quit are exactly what this work is designed for.

Jesse works at Spinal Energetics HQ and is one of the most grounded practitioners we have. If you have been on the fence about trying this, let Jayden’s session be the reason you finally book.

Your body has been trying to tell you something for years.

Not loudly. Not dramatically. Just a quiet and persistent knowing that something is not quite right. A feeling that sits just below the surface of everyday life that no amount of productivity, positive thinking or self improvement has ever fully resolved. The body does not forget. & when it has something to say it will keep saying it until it is finally heard.

Tension that no amount of massage has ever fully reached.

You have been on the tables. You have had the treatments. You leave feeling better for a day or two and then the same tightness returns to the same places it always does. That is because the tension is not purely muscular. It lives in the fascia, in the nervous system and in the patterns the body built around experiences it did not know how to process at the time. Spinal Energetics works at that level.

You feel stuck and cannot explain why.

Not stuck in an obvious way. You are functioning. You are showing up. But there is a part of you that has not moved in a very long time. A version of yourself that you can sense is possible but cannot quite reach. That stuckness is often the nervous system holding a pattern it built for protection that is no longer serving you.

Anxiety that lives in the body rather than the mind.

The kind of anxiety that is not about a specific worry or thought. The kind that lives in the chest, in the stomach, in the breath that never quite settles. The kind that meditation helps with but never fully resolves. This is the nervous system speaking and Spinal Energetics is one of the most direct ways to have that conversation.

You have tried everything else.

Therapy. Chiro. Massage. Yoga. Meditation. Medication. All of it has helped in its own way and none of it has quite finished the job. That is not a failure of those approaches. It is a sign that what you are carrying lives somewhere those approaches cannot fully reach. & that somewhere is exactly where Spinal Energetics begins.

If any of these five resonate, your body already knows what it needs.

New clients are always welcome.

The release that occurs within a spinal energetics session is rarely singular in nature.
Stress and tension are stored in the body in different ways, and the release that follows can be physical, mental, emotional, or, quite often, a combination of all three occurring simultaneously.

Physically, this might present as a softening of tight muscles, a deeper breath, a spontaneous shift in posture, or even small involuntary movements as the nervous system lets go of long held holding patterns.

Mentally, it might feel like sudden clarity, a quieting of racing thoughts, or a sense of mental spaciousness that was not there before the session began.

Emotionally, it can surface as tears, laughter, a wave of relief, or simply a felt sense of lightness, as stored emotion that the body has been carrying is finally given permission to move.

The body does not separate these experiences into neat categories, it is entirely common for someone to feel physical release and emotional release together or to notice a shift in one area first and the others following in the days after a session. Every person’s experience is unique, and there is no correct or expected way for release to occur.

There is a common idea that spinal energetics is all about catharsis, with big emotional waves, shaking and crying. And sometimes it is. But just as often, a session looks quiet, grounded and almost still.

Some of the most powerful work happens in the small moments, like a physiological sigh, that deep double inhale and long exhale your body does naturally to offload stress and settle your nervous system. You might not even notice it happening, but it is your body finding its way back to safety in real time.

Grounding is not always loud. Sometimes it is just your body remembering how to feel steady again, with a slower breath, a softer jaw and a nervous system that finally gets the message that it is safe to rest.

If you have been waiting for a big experience to feel like the work is working, it is not always going to look like that, and that is fine. Healing is not always dramatic. Sometimes it is simply quiet, physiological calm.

Mish has a grounding presence in her sessions and is available Fridays & Sundays

Movement along the spine during a Spinal Energetics session is never random. It is never performance and it is never something the practitioner creates or directs. Every shift, every wave, every subtle reorganisation you witness in the spine is the body’s own innate intelligence communicating what it needs, where it is holding and what it is finally ready to let go of.
The spine is not simply a structural column that holds the body upright. It is the central pathway through which the nervous system communicates with every organ, every tissue and every cell in the body. It carries the imprint of every experience you have ever had, every pattern of tension and protection the nervous system has built over a lifetime and every emotion that was felt but never fully processed. In that sense the spine is not just a physical structure. It is a record. A living, breathing archive of everything you have been through.
This is the premise at the heart of Dr Sarah Jane’s debut book, Your Spine Holds The Answer. That the answers we spend years searching for in the mind, in therapy rooms and in self help books have been in the body all along. Held in the spine. Waiting for the right conditions to surface.
When the spine begins to move in a session, that movement is the body beginning to reorganise what it has been storing. Tension patterns that have lived in the tissue for years start to unwind. The nervous system begins to recalibrate. & what was once held as a fixed pattern in the body starts to become fluid again.
Clients often describe this as feeling like something they could not name has finally shifted. A lightness they had forgotten was possible. A sense of coming back to themselves that no amount of thinking had ever been able to produce.
The spine has always held the answer. Spinal Energetics is simply the way of asking the question.

Of all the things the heart carries, shame and guilt are among the heaviest and it’s not because they are the loudest, but because they are the most silent.

The ones that settle so deeply around the heart that they begin to feel like identity rather than experience, like something that is simply true about you rather than something that happened to you and was never fully processed.

Shame says I am wrong and guilt says I did wrong. When neither has ever been met with enough safety to move through, both find a home in the body.
In the chest that never fully opens, in the breath that never quite reaches the bottom of the lungs and in the shoulders that round forward as though the heart is still trying to protect itself from something that happened a very long time ago.

For many people, receiving love is the most confronting thing of all. Not because they do not want it, but because somewhere along the way the body learned that love was conditional, unpredictable or unsafe. & so it built a wall around the heart so quietly and so carefully that the person inside stopped noticing the wall was there at all.

In Spinal Energetics, the heart space is one of the most significant areas we work with. As the thoracic spine begins to soften, something extraordinary can happen. The chest opens, the breath drops and the heart, perhaps for the first time in years, has enough space to begin processing what it has been quietly holding. Shame begins to loosen its grip, guilt finds somewhere to go and love, real love, begins to feel like something the body might actually be able to receive.

This is not a quick process. It is a gentle one but, it is one of the most profound things we witness at HQ.
