Description

In this episode of the Unreal Results podcast, I unpack the anatomical and pressure-based relationships between the liver, abdominal cavity, and pelvic floor through both a clinical case study and a deep dive into visceral anatomy. I share how restoring liver mobility changed a client’s stress incontinence, core function, breathing mechanics, and lower body mobility.  You’ll also hear why understanding pressure gradients and visceral relationships can completely shift the way you assess and treat the body.In This Episode, You’ll Hear:How pelvic floor dysfunction is influenced by ribcage position, breathing mechanics, and abdominal pressureA detailed breakdown of the liver’s anatomical connections to the diaphragm, abdominal wall, bladder, and pelvic floorHow visceral dysfunction can alter hip rotation, core control, and breathing mechanicsPractical ways to assess objective orthopedic changes when treating visceral or pelvic complaintsIf you’ve been treating pelvic floor dysfunction, core instability, or movement limitations without considering the visceral system, this episode may completely change the way you think about human movement and function.Resources & Links Mentioned In This Episode:Ep. 58: The Whole Organism Approach w/ Nicole CozeanEp. 150: A Clinical Case Study in Sacral Pain & Index of SuspicionFit + Fueled Life Podcast: Ep. 334 - What Your Injuries Are Trying to Tell You After 40 (& Why You’re Not Healing)Pelvic PT Rising Podcast - Beyond The Obvious: An Interview with Anna HartmanLearn the LTAP® In-Person in one of my upcoming courses=================================================Watch the podcast on YouTube and subscribe!Join the MovementREV email list to stay up to date on the Unreal Results Podcast and MovementREV education.
