The Buttafly Technique: gentle realignment for natural back care and spine health with Loulou James

Description

Who is Loulou James?

Loulou James is a Spine Health Specialist, retired physiotherapist and yoga teacher with more than 40 years’ experience working with the body.

Her Buttafly Technique grew from her own healing journey after fracturing her sacrum. Ten years after the injury, she discovered that the unique Buttafly support allowed her to lie comfortably on her back for the first time in a decade. What she experienced sparked a deeper exploration into the body’s natural ability to release, realign and heal when given the right support.

Today, Loulou helps individuals and practitioners explore a gentler approach to back care and spine health - working with the body’s innate intelligence rather than forcing or correcting it from the outside.

In This Conversation

Loulou shares the fascinating story behind the Buttafly Technique and explores how pelvic support, positioning and deep relaxation can help create the conditions for natural release and realignment through the spine.

We talk about:

  • The accidental discovery that led to the Buttafly Technique
  • Loulou’s recovery following a spinal fracture
  • Working with the body’s natural intelligence
  • The connection between the pelvis, spine and whole-body alignment
  • Why relaxation and gentle positioning are so important
  • Changes people have experienced in comfort, movement and posture
  • Using the Buttafly Technique at home
  • When individual or practitioner support may be helpful
