IQoro - This is how you exercise

[@ampm247arts]

i have been doing this for approx 18 months. daily, i also lean forward so i can feel the inner pull, which i feel has helped me to understand what is going on. i no longer have issues with acid reflux or gerd, i was diagnosed with barretts and have no more symptoms of that either. i believe these exercises have helped heal all the issues i was having. i am 65 yrs old.

[@IQoro]

Hi, That's wonderful to hear! It sounds like the training have been very beneficial for you, good job! We advise, however, to maintain an upright posture when you training with IQoro. Kind regards, Team IQoro Sweden

How were you doing it exactly?

Do you still use it?

Did you have any hital hernia ？ I got a 2-3 cm hiatal hernia. So I'm not sure it's good for me or not.

[@sarahmcgougan3315]

why don't you mention how to breathe during the exercise/

Hi Sarah, When training with IQoro should you not breathe, it´s recommended to hold your breath. See more in our FAQ: iqoro.zendesk.com/hc/en-gb/articles/18815371949981-Should-I-hold-my-breath Kind regards, Team IQoro

Just purchased mine in dark blue, Been suffering for over a year with a burning stomach,burping, sore throat. Been on PPis had numerous test the last one being a esophagus manometry and 24Hr PH study which diagnosed a small Hiatus Hernia. The medication helps but isn’t a cure, I’ll try this and hopefully my symptoms will be lessened. I don’t mind the cost if it helps my symptoms, even if I had to pay this each year or every 6 months, if it takes away my misery then I’m more than happy to pay.

Has it helped you?

[@Siforce71]

@@venkateshbhat2875 Hi there, Still sticking to the IQoro program, nearly at 3 months usage now, would say to be honest with you and myself my symptoms are not as bad as what they where before the IQoro program, yes I still get discomfort but to a lesser degree, only take PPIs now if I get a breakthrough in symptoms, but it’s still early days as they say it can take up to 6 months or more to notice more positive results. So carrying on with my IQoro.

[@Siforce71]

@@IQoro Hi There, I notice now when I use my IQoro I seem to want to burp when I do my exercise which when I first started I didn’t notice, could this be a result of my diaphragm getting stronger and pulling the top part of my stomach back into position?

[@danielnenshi6027]

I showed it a Dr and he wasn't interested, just offered me more pills. I was trying to explain tha the iqoro had done more in 2 months than lansoprazole have in nearly 9 years! I hate drs there a waste of air. To me that proved that they have no interest in things that really do help us they would rather fill us full of useless tablets and send u for endoscopys, tablets mask the problems by the way. I've had 2 endoscopys a MRI and a CT scan and still they can't help me with GERD, i asked if it could b ibs at 1 point and they gave me ibs meds I don't even have ibs😂 . They told me I have to have another endoscopy but even if I have it I'm not an ideal candidate to have the operation!? Wtf is the point in another endoscopy then.. just so they can say they've done summit to cover them selves, they really are useless. I've had this problem since 2015.

Do we have to place the tongue in a certain position? No mention of it is made anywhere on your materials although it shows on this graph as if the position was important. Bit confusing, could you clarify? Thanks

[@IQoro]

No, when you train with IQoro the tongue will end up where it's supposed to. The training session is very simple and don't take longer than 36 seconds to perform. Also, if you start training you will have free support from us from the very first day. Read more about how, when and why IQoro works: www.iqoro.com Kind regards, Team IQoro

@@IQoro In the leaflet in the box it's shown the tounge should go to the back of the throat. If this doesn't automatically happen it still is where it needs to?

[@IQoro]

@@laisa. depending on how far int your training you are you might feel the tongue being lifted at the back but don't worry if you do. This is what happens when you train. If you have further questions don't hesitate to send an email to [e-mail] and our customer support team will help answering your questions. Kind regards, Team IQoro

[@danielnenshi6027]

When you pull the iqoro forward you'll notice your tongue move forward slightly, I think your meant to hold the iqoro still when you're tongue moves slightly. That's what I do and it seems to be making a slight difference so far.

[@PamLake-u4h]

How should you breathe?

Hi, We advise everyone who can to hold their breath when training with IQoro. See more about this and other frequently asked questions in our FAQ on our website. Kind regards, Team IQoro Sweden

[@netkotreci3135]

I have GERD. No hiatal hernia, just the LES probably lost his function. My LES closes but with no strenght. Should this device help me?

[@IQoro]

Hi! The LES is not a muscle, it is a area of tissue and very very very small muscles. It is not the LES itself that causes reflux, it is the location of the LES that is crucial. If your LES is above the diaphragm, you may get reflux. If LES is below your diaphragm, you do not have reflux. In other words, it is not true that your LES is weak, it is just a way of trying to explain, in an easy way, what is happening. It is the muscles in the hiatus canal that are weak and therefore can not withstand increased abdominal pressure (which happens when we bend forward, lie down, sit, swallow food ...). Training with IQoro would be very suitable for you! Kind regards, Team IQoro Sweden

[@roisinwhite390]

Wonder what is the medical explanation for using this??what effect has this on hiatus hernia?on oesophagus?on throat?on vocal folds?

[@IQoro]

Hi Roisin, a hiatus hernia is actually a weak inner musculature and training with IQoro will help you strengthen all your 148 muscles in the swallowing chain. The training is simple and only takes 90 seconds per day. If you are interested in learning more on how, when and why IQoro works. Please visit our website www.iqoro.com. You can also watch this video about a Swedish singer who started to train with IQoro after years of problems from reflux. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJ3EYY2IlpqKiLc Kind regards, Team IQoro - Sweden

[@evangingerson1271]

Is this only for Hiatus Hernia I had an endoscopy no Hernia but no acid problems I think it’s just weak digestive and stomach muscles or oesophagus no pills work either

[@IQoro]

Hi, You can train with IQoro whether you have a confirmed hiatus hernia or not, most of our users do not have a confirmed hiatus hernia. We think that you will find the information on following link interesting: www.iqoro.com/hiatal-hernia/reflux-disease-gerd/#seeking-medical-help-for-reflux Kind regards, Team IQoro Sweden

[@dianewhant1943]

Do I do these exercises for a few weeks, months or forever? Can’t find an answer to this question…

[@TheErlend87]

In another video the doctor said that if you stop using it snoring and reflux will get back, so i guess you use it more or less permanent, its muscles training after all and if you stop training muscles they will get weaker

[@IQoro]

Hi Diane, It depends on whether you are using IQoro to cure problems caused by neurological injury - like stroke, which has caused dysphagia or facial paralysis, or whether you are training because of a muscular weakness such as Hiatus hernia, snoring or apnoea. If it is muscular weakness, then maintenance training will be required. Once you have achieved your desired result you should continue to train with a reduced number of sessions per day. You’ll need to find the right level for yourself. Kind regards, Team IQoro Sweden

[@ManizaNadheem]

I’m unsure if I’m doing it correctly. I don’t feel like my tongue naturally sticks to back of my palate. I can just let it float in the air. Otherwise I do as the video instructed.

Does IQoro help with Lax LES and esophagitis as well?

[@IQoro]

Hi, The short answer is yes. However, you can dive deeper into what the actual cause is on our website. We summarise briefly below. The LES is not a muscle, it is a area of tissue and very very very small muscles. It is not the LES itself that causes reflux, it is the location of the LES that is crucial. If your LES is above the diaphragm, you may get reflux. If LES is below your diaphragm, you do not have reflux. In other words, it is not true that your LES is weak, it is just a way of trying to explain, in an easy way, what is happening. It is the muscles in the hiatus canal that are weak and therefore can not withstand increased abdominal pressure (which happens when we bend forward, lie down, sit, swallow food ...).

[@sidhionoakbranch4871]

I don't understand... I pull, but it does absolutely nothing but hurt my lips. My tongue doesn't go up towards the roof of my mouth. Is there supposed to be a vacuum or something? Cause I can't see how just holding something in front of my teeth will do anything.

Hi, It sound like a we need to make some adjustments since your lips is hurting whilst using the IQoro. Make contact with our support team and they will help you both with your training and your questions. Kind regads, Team IQoro Sweden

You will still need maintenance training of some sort once you have received positive results. Read more about how, when and why IQoro works on our website: iqoro.com Kind regards, Team IQoro

[@EstebanMcC]

Is it right to feel a lift in the diaphragm that releases as you release the device?

[@IQoro]

Hi, It varies from person to person how much we feel when we exercise. The feeling you are experiencing in your diaphragm is not something that many people feel, maybe you are pulling a little too hard? Contact our customer support for assistance with your training. Kind regards, Team IQoro

I have LPR & TMJ, I can't open my mouth beyond two fingers (the height of the index finger & middle finger going into mouth), I'm worried about the strain on my TMJ & jaw 😕

[@IQoro]

Hi, We have many people who train with IQoro who have TMJ, however, in these cases you should start your training a little slower and it is important that you do not pull hard and tighten your jaw. The placement of the IQoro is done by moving the IQoro from side to side, you do not need to open your mouth wide. Contact our support if you have more questions. Kind regards, Team IQoro

Do we stop our breath during those 10 seconds?

Hi! Yes. When using IQoro, hold your breath for the 10 seconds when you pull IQoro outwards. Not everybody can hold their breath for 10 seconds. Then it’s perfectly fine to hold your breath for as long as you can. Kind regards, Team IQoro Sweden

If you're willing to do the exercise more than three times a day, will you progress more quickly?

Hi Peter, No, unfortunately, the training does not give you faster results from training more/longer than recommended. However, you can get unnecessary training ache. We recommend you to stick to the training routine that we provided you with. Kind regards, Team IQoro Sweden

[@paulkirby2761]

Is there a reason why the recommended exercise is limited to just 1.5 minutes per day? Does a more vigorous or longer workout cause adverse effects or something?

[@IQoro]

Hi, The exercise routine has been developed entirely on what they concluded during the research of IQoro. Exercising more than recommended is not dangerous, but neither does it give faster and better results. You will probably just experience training ache.

[@asbestosflake5749]

BUT HOW EXACTLY DOES IT TRAIN THE LES?! THIS SEEMS LIKE IT WILL LIKELY SUCK THE HERNIA UP FURTHER 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@IQoro]

Hi, Thanks for the question, an LES is not a muscle that can be exercised. The problem is that the diaphragm is weakened and therefore unable to keep the upper part of the stomach and LES in the correct position, below the diaphragm. As long as there is a weakening of the diaphragm, the stomach and LES can slide uncontrollably up and down through the diaphragm. Training with IQoro strengthens the diaphragm so that it regains good strength. You are welcome to learn more about this on our website or in other videos we have published here on KZbin. Kind regards, Team IQoro Sweden

[@asbestosflake5749]

@@IQoro I’ve watched the website videos and still don’t understand exactly how it’s training the diaphragm ?

[@IQoro]

Hi again, When training with IQoro are you activating the neural paths that run from the mouth to send signals up to the brain, which in turn tells the different muscles all the way down to the diaphragm, oesophagus and upper section of the stomach to start working. One can liken it to a high intensity power swallow, which can last for up to ten seconds. On following link are we describing in details how everything is linked together: www.iqoro.com/what-is-iqoro/why-iqoro-works/ You are welcome to reach out to our customer support if you have any questions.
