Digestive problems such as IBS are common and may play a significant role in the back pain the patient is seeking treatment for. Review anatomy and connections of the abdominal viscera. Learn assessment to determine if the viscera may be contributing to pain and dysfunction in other areas. Learn to treat fascial restrictions of the viscera to help them move freely against one another and help reduce the impact these restrictions may have on the body.
