What is Abdominal Phrenic Dyssynergia?
A fancy term for a mismatch between the respiratory diaphragm and the front abdominal muscles in chronic bloating.
It's a part of why it can feel hard to breathe with bloating. The body is actually trying to help us because abdominal organs don't like extra pressure on them, but it can add to chronic bloating issues over time.
Re-training this reflex is a great complement to the visceral manual therapy that we do at Invincible.
