Relieve heartburn at home, without meds, fast, with stretch and massage

A Pilates instructor’s solution for acid reflux

Heartburn is not due to poor health habits—it’s due to something else!

Picture: Heartburn is common among athletes and increases with exercise intensity. Athletes are generally careful about their weight and dietary habits, which proves that acid reflux is largely NOT due to poor health habits—it’s due to something else!

Diaphragms, like all muscles, can become dysfunctional

Picture: After intense effort, especially after an abdominal workout, the diaphragm becomes achy and dysfunctional. It can no longer perform one of its key functions: squeezing the lower esophageal sphincter closed to prevent acid reflux and heartburn. This same diaphragm dysfunction happens to non-athletes, so stretching and massage are likely to help most people. (Please also check out the lifestyle causes and trigger foods, and the sensible daily management strategies for your acid reflux here).

The solution is to stretch and massage!

The solution is to stretch and massage the diaphragm and upper abdominals! Researchers and physiotherapists worldwide have missed this important point. So I am grateful today to share with you the groundbreaking research of Doctor Guy Haynes, and Liebscher & Bracht, physiotherapists!
