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 and or hiccups. Weakness there leads to
bracing with the abdominals and perhaps an abrupt kyphosis at the
thoracic lumbar junction. Release of the abdominal obliques often
leads to coughing up fluid from lower lungs.
I use positional release which dose not require deep palpation. The
palpation is along the border of the ilium and pubic bone to track the
anatomy train through the iliacus that is substituting for the
internal core muscles.
