Digestion is a mechanical process as well as a chemical one. Food has to be moved.
The peritoneum — the fascia of the abdomen — suspends and tethers your digestive organs. It is continuous with the fascia of your ribs, your back and your pelvis. When that tissue is restricted, the organs it holds cannot glide and shift as they should, and peristalsis works against resistance.
Which is why old injuries matter here. Broken ribs. Wrist fractures. Abdominal surgery. Scoliosis. A whiplash you forgot about. Each one changes how the trunk carries tension — and none of them show up in a food diary.
It started suddenly, and nothing about how you eat had changed.
Elimination diets and probiotics helped a little, or not at all.
Investigations came back clear, and you were told to manage it.
There's a history of injury, surgery, scoliosis or long-standing back pain.
Nobody has ever assessed your trunk and pelvis mechanically.
Understanding whether this applies to you usually starts with a full trunk and pelvic fascia-led assessment, rather than focusing on diet alone.
Symptoms, timeline, and — critically — every injury, fracture and operation you can remember, however unrelated it seems.
A fascia-led screen of the whole trunk: rib mobility, breath mechanics, spinal rotation, pelvic and abdominal restriction.
Fascial Manipulation for Internal Dysfunction, applied to the points identified. Abdominal work only ever with your specific consent.
Symptoms tracked between sessions, with nutrition guidance alongside where it helps — never instead of medical care.
This is a mechanical assessment of tissue, offered alongside — not instead of — gastroenterological care. Keep working with your GP or consultant.
Diagnose a digestive condition, advise you to stop prescribed medication, or promise a result before we have assessed you.
You have unexplained weight loss, bleeding, persistent vomiting or a sudden change in bowel habit. Those need investigating, not treating.
