Overview
Gastrointestinal disorders are a primary non-musculoskeletal reason why people have pain, systemic inflammation, and difficulty performing their desired activities. This class will examine how proper motion of the musculoskeletal system integrates with the gastrointestinal viscera and how disorders of either can be problematic. We will focus on the upper GI system and how disorders with digestion can affect these systems. Thorough evaluation and treatment of relevant musculoskeletal structures, gastrointestinal viscera, and the lymphatic and autonomic nervous systems will be demonstrated and practiced.
