Using Massage Techniques to Treat GERD and Hiatal Hernia
Erik Dalton tackles the prevalent issue of gastrointestinal problems like GERD and hiatal hernias in his instructional video. With deep expertise, he explains the hiatal hernia's mechanics, where the esophagus pulls up, creating a simplified second stomach. Erik illustrates the dangers of stomach acid leaking, potentially leading to conditions like Barrett syndrome. Delving into hands-on techniques, he demonstrates a hiatal hernia technique he pioneered, emphasizing the importance of targeting the left side, just beside the xiphoid process, to indirectly drag down the fascia connecting to the stomach's neck. Erik introduces the vagus nerve's relevance, suggesting that its compression in the diaphragm might be a source of some gastrointestinal issues.
Demonstrating his technique, he guides viewers through a systematic approach to address these issues, applying pressure and following the release to achieve results. He even mentions an alternative method he learned from an old chiropractor. Throughout, Dalton's passion is evident as he discusses the immense relief these techniques have brought him personally, encouraging everyone to give it a try.

[@Desertmoon_1229]

Could you do a video on self?Massage to, push down the hernia ?

[@dalerohling5989]

I self administer as I can find the spots when I reach the top of my breath and feel pain, then hold or press harder at top of each breathe until no more pain.

Good idea

Thank you for this video! Will these techniques help with symptoms associated with IBD?

[@tommyprotrampx]

It depends on the person. IBD is just a symptom, and there can be many different causes.
