Disposing of acid reflux by integrating gastro-intestinal reprogramming Connection between acid reflux, sensitivity, chronic muscular contraction and tissue metabolic acidosis. Latest researches have shown how individual emotional-cognitive patterns affect posture and how compensating posture results in a chronic contraction of some muscular regions. This chronic contraction (for instance, blocked diaphragm, altered posture) causes a massive…
