The Colon Connection

Unreal Results for Physical Therapists and Athletic Trainers

This week on the Unreal Results podcast, I talk about the often-overlooked impact of the colon on overall health and performance. In this episode, I dive real deep into the anatomy and physiology of the colon highlighting its intricate connections to the nervous system and beyond. You’ll hear how the colon can cause symptoms such as back pain, sciatica, and even foot pain. I also provide ways for the healthcare and movement provider to assess issues in the colon as well as provide specific treatments such as various breathing and stretching exercises.
