Your gut symptoms might not start in your gut 👀
Your organs sit inside containers of fascia, a connective tissue that holds them in place. That organ (visceral) fascia doesn’t work alone. It’s connected to the fascia around your muscles, in lines that run up from your legs, through your hips and into your trunk.
And it works both ways:
➡️ Tension in the muscle fascia can pull on the fascia around your gut and tighten it
⬅️ Tension in the gut’s fascia can pull on the muscle fascia, showing up as back, hip or abdominal tightness
When the gut is held under that pull, it can affect how it moves and how it feels: bloating, cramping, discomfort.
The good news? These muscle lines are easy to find and easy to release. Take the tension off them, and you take tension off the gut.
That’s the work we do at InPeak
