Тяжесть внизу живота и боль в пояснице: что общего? | Целебное Прикосновение

When a patient complains of heaviness in the lower abdomen, radiating to the lower back and legs and accompanied by tingling or a feeling of cold, we first consider the condition of the abdominal cavity, not the spine. Edema in this area increases the volume of internal organs, creating mechanical pressure on surrounding tissues. In our new video, we conduct functional testing: – assess the condition of the adductor muscles and the iliopsoas group; – identify asymmetry in the tone of the outer thigh and tension in the upper trapezius muscle; – use breath-holding as an indicator of abdominal mobility. Breath-hold test: Normally, a person can hold their breath for 40–60 seconds. Less is an objective sign of limited mobility of the diaphragm and abdominal wall. After correction, the breath-holding time increases, indicating a decrease in intra-abdominal pressure and restoration of diaphragmatic excursion. For more details, watch the video.
