Intestines, Esophagus/Diaphragm, and Bladder

I know a lot gets missed on social media, and I wanted to make sure these videos I put on Instagram and Facebook get seen by everyone!

I’ve been using my teaching skeleton in short bursts to talk about some of the most frequent issues that come up with clients and students.

Here are three short ones about:

• Just how much space our Intestines take up
• Some of the Diaphragm/Esophagus reasons we can have acid reflux or GERD, and
• Why our Bladders sometimes feel crunched

If you want to go beyond this, I’ll cover these more in depth in my upcoming workshops – starting Oct. 10!

Bladder:

I’m teaching my last abdominal series of the year starting Oct. 10. Hope to have you join in!

As always, let me know what you think … I wanna make sure what I’m putting out here is useful.
