Myofascial therapies help treat gastroesophageal reflux

Researchers from the Departments of Physical Therapy, Medicine and Surgery of the Universidad CEU Cardenal Herrera of Valencia (Spain), have developed and successfully tested a pioneering myofascial therapy for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux. Their study has shown that the manual therapy, which is designed to relax the fascia in the area of the diaphragm, decreases the symptoms of gastric reflux and the use of medicine to alleviate them, thus improving the quality of life of the patients who took part in the clinical trial up to a month after applying the therapy.
