One of my clients came in recently with a flare of his IBS symptoms. This person reported pain in his hip as well as his lower back during his IBS flares. He also noted that the previous week had been very stressful at work. I mentioned that his stress level might be related to his increase in symptoms. And he asked me how. Here is a bit of my response.
Have you ever felt your heart pound, your head pound or your stomach growl? If so, you were feeling those sensations through a specialized branch of your autonomic nervous system called the interoceptive nervous system.
People often ask me about visceral mobilization/manipulation. They often ask questions like What the heck is that? Aren’t you a PT? Is it like Reiki? Are you going to rearrange my internal organs?
