Hiccups due to core work?   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #1830 of 1887 |
Hi everyone,

I recently had a one time, abstract session with a new client (an LMT). She
complained of some SI/hip discomfort due to a massage session two weeks prior.

I did some preliminary sleeve work to support the pelvis and set the stage for
some core work. When trying to connect with the hip flexors things became very
intense and hard for her, with a strong fear response. She described a history
of fear and anxiety / pain with psoas work. I experimented a bit with using her
hand as the 'tool' to connect. It was a bit easier and the fear response was
much reduced but still hard. I don't think we made it past the abdominals and
did not connect directly with the psoas either time. The session ended well
with good results and she expressed interest in the series.

She called back a week later complaining of daily, long lasting hiccups (30
minutes each time).

Any thoughts about the relationship here?
Thanks
Eli

Because the diaphragm and psoas/psoas minor cross over each other in their attachment to the spine, I find that imbalance there can frequently lead to burping...
