The gallbladder is the most common organ issue in our practice.
Most people only think about the gallbladder when something goes wrong: a flare after a meal, a gallbladder attack, or a surgeon recommending removal.
Comment RENEW If your gallbladder needs support and join us inside SOMA Renewal. We will teach you to recognize the fascial tension patterns associated with all the major organs and demonstrate how to address them with fascial release and reflex techniques.
The liver produces bile and binds it to toxins and old estrogen for removal from the body. The gallbladder receives this mixture and releases it through the bile duct for excretion. When the gallbladder is sluggish, that mixture stalls. Toxins recirculate. Estrogen builds.
Fascial tension, restricted diaphragmatic movement, and sluggish lymphatics all affect how well bile moves through this system. So do unresolved emotions. Frustration, resentment, and unexpressed emotion are stored in the tissue of this organ and create the same kind of mechanical restriction as physical trauma.
This is especially relevant for women during pregnancy and postpartum. The mechanical pressure on the abdominal organs during pregnancy is significant, and hormonal shifts slow bile movement further. Postpartum gallbladder attacks and gallstones are extremely common and frequently result in removal.
If you have had your gallbladder removed, this post is still for you. Your body still produces bile. The bile still needs to move. And the surgical trauma from removal leaves fascial restriction in the area that affects the surrounding structures. That tissue still needs attention.
