Summary

Sometimes, bands of scar tissue—called adhesions—can form in your body and stick to your organs or tissues, as a result of surgery, trauma, or inflammation. This may cause complications like intestinal blockage, restricted breathing, or difficulty moving muscles. In the gut, SIBO, IBS, IBD, and conditions like hiatal hernia may be influenced by this restriction. Fortunately, a technique called visceral therapy (also known as visceral manipulation and massage) can help. In this episode, a specialist in visceral therapy, Dr. Jason Wysocki, shares his insights about how it works and who is most likely to benefit. https://drruscio.com/?p=47952

therapy.

And there's this really interesting therapy we talked about years ago now, actually, with Larry and Belinda Wern, who are at Clear Passage.com.

And they published a number of papers showing that for some people, turned loosely, they can have this inflammation or these adhesions or scar tissueing in their abdomen, in their pelvis, and that can

interfere with stomach and intestinal function because there's almost think of like a garden hose

1:18.6

as a kind of crude analogy. And if you step on the garden hose, you can include the ability

1:24.1

of water to flow through the hose. Well, the heel of the shoe would be like the scar tissue that could impede the intestines

1:31.9

from allowing material to move through it.

1:34.9

And this is where for some people, the difference between chronic symptoms and finally

1:39.5

being able to get over those symptoms can be having this kind of intensive visceral or abdominal and
