Serotonin is important for gut function and may be implicated in certain digestive issues.

The Migrating motor complex or MMC is sometimes known as the 'housekeeper' of the digestive system. It is important for cleaning the tract. IT moves bacteria and debris like dead cells and indigestible matter along to be disposed of in our stool. It is important in keeping bacteria from overgrowing in the small intestine. When it isn't working properly it may result in small intestinal bacterial overgrowth or SIBO.

Viscera means organ and visceral osteopathy is a branch of osteopathic treatment that focuses on restoring balance and equilibrium to the internal organs of the body and their associated tissue structures, particularly within the abdominal and pelvic cavities.

It is sometimes likened to massage of the abdomen. Gentle tissue manipulation and release are used to improve function and relieve tension of the viscera and their associated tissues, which hold and suspend the organs and also contain the vessels that supply them with nutrients and provide neurological communication and feedback to the brain.

Visceral Osteopathy is also used within the context of general osteopathic treatment, and other areas that may be contributing to dysfunction are also treated where relevant.

While there are many reasons for people seeking out visceral osteopathic treatment, my clinical focus is on digestion and abdominal discomfort. Common presentations seen are constipation, bloating, reflux, sluggishness, and visceral hypersensitivity just to name a few.

People also seek Visceral Osteopathy for general abdominal pain and discomfort, sometimes known as visceral hypersensitivity and sometimes because they feel they hold stress and tension in their abdomens which affects their general well-being.

Try these tips to help manage your reflux.

Might you have silent reflux? if you suspect you do you should have it investigated.

Chewing your food well and eating with mindful awareness is just as important for your digestive health as what you put in you mouth! If you are having digestive issues despite eating well and trying different approaches to diet try adding chewing well to your get well programme!

May you be experiencing reflux?

While on occasion acid reflux isn't harmful if you are experiencing it two or more times a week you should get it investigated so as to get an appropriate management plan. Chronic reflux or gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) when not managed may over time result in other health complications.

There are a variety of reasons a person may be constipated. If your constipation isn't resolving despite self-care efforts, you should consult your GP to rule out any underlying issues.
