Online resources to support home practice
Once you have had your first class, workshop or private session, please click on the button or one of the photos to take you to the Vault.
This is your own online library of Free Your Spine related resources, to empower your home practice.
All clients will have access to how-to guides for making special props from towels.
And if you have booked a class with the online resources add-on, you will also be able to play the audio recording of that class, plus read exercise sheets. These are designed to help you practice at home, whenever you want.
You will also get access to relevant class recordings after a private session or after an Advanced Training Program workshop.
Finally, if you take the Advanced Training Program, the vault will give you access to the audio recording for each workshop, to allow for home study, or catching-up.
NB. The Vault functionality and security is provided by Google Drive. You will need to set up a Gmail email account, or other valid Google mail account, with your own private password (not shared with Adam), before you can enter the Vault to securely access its contents.

Gert van Leeuwen describing the Critical Alignment method
Health Practitioners & Holistic Bodywork
During my personal journey with healing my spine, I discovered several pre-existing structural/skeletal misalignment conditions, that I was previously unaware of.
Instead these misalignments became acutely painful, as my body started to shift to a better alignment.
In my case there were a couple of undiagnosed herniated discs in my upper thoracic spine, and thoracic outlet syndrome which together created referred pain in my mid-back and down my right arm. I also uncovered a misalignment of my vetebrae in my mid-back (anterolisthesis)
Other people might experience a similar spinal nerve impingement as referred pain in the neck, torso, shoulders, arms, or legs etc.
I found the osteopaths listed very helpful in my healing journey, when the pain levels were too intense to soothe on my own. Each time, within 2-3 sessions, I got through to the other end of the crisis, with a more open, freer body, and with the source of pain in that area more fully healed.
The massages helped to calm my nerves and to feel more well in my body during these crises.
