Digestive problems in Barcelona: natural relief with gentle osteopathy
Some people come to the surgery with back problems and then, halfway through the session, casually mention that they've been feeling bloated after meals for months, as if it's a minor detail. And some people come specifically because of that.
Almost always the same, with variations. That they swell up in the afternoon even if they've eaten little. That their bowel movements are sporadic and they no longer know what to expect. That their stomachs close up when there's a lot going on at work and open up on holiday. That their dinners sit there, not going down.
And very often, even if they don't mention it, their back is strained below the ribs, their breathing is short, and their neck is stiff.
That last point is no coincidence. The diaphragm rests just above the stomach and liver. When it doesn't move well, neither does what's beneath it.
We work with gentle, crack-free osteopathy in the Eixample.
