I tried massaging the occipital lobe, and wow, shortness of breath got lessened 😮
Thank you for this! You deserve more subscribers ❤
That's fantastic! So glad it's helped. Aww, and thanks for your kind words. Please feel free to share :)
When I was 43 years old, I had a hiatal hernia and other health issues I want 100% plant-based vegan no oil and somewhere around one or two years later I no longer had a hiatal hernia it healed itself
Oh wow, that's great! so many ways to heal, depending on the root of the issue :)
This is fabulous! Thank you! Now I know why I have neck pain so high up at the base of my skull. AND I was diagnosed with POTS, a few years ago. I am betting that the symptoms of POTS are coming from the vagus nerve being pinched at the neck and the diaphragm!
Oh wow, I'm so glad this has provided so many insights for you!! :)
Interesting, currently having severe neck pain base of skull. Just found out I have this hernia
@@powerpaul1423 Ahhh, it's all connected!
I figured this out on my own 20 years ago. It helps to also hold a deep breath while holding the pressure.
That's awesome :)
What worked each time for me is to fill my mouth with water, stand on my tippy toes, and then swallow the water in one gulp while landing hard back down on my heels. Repeat a few times if needed. I hope this also helps someone.
Yes! This is great post-treatment :) 11 heel drops
What works for me is drinking a whole pint of warm water quickly first thing in the morning, taking a belly breath (diaphragmatic breathing), then jumping from a 1ft step, exhaling as I drop. Repeat about 12 times. I'd say don't do jumps or heel drops on a hard surface - also an indoor trampoline might work better :)
Drops, regular stretches, losing weight and diaphragmatic breathing have really helped me get it under control.
That is how I do it and it works.
@@glamelame7315 It sure does! :)
Gosh I hope I can do this on myself , I can’t breathe at night is awful , I can only eat a very small handful of food at a time.
Oh, I'm so sorry to hear this! We originally created this video for clients as our practice if virtual and work with clients world-wide. We've had plenty of clients use this method to reset their stomach. So I'd give it a go! If you get stuck, please feel free to reach out :)
Update ?
Just found out I have a hiatal hernia, very informative message thank you. Reading all replies and comments very very informative.
So glad this has been helpful :)
such a helpful video. I've just watched about 20 of these videos, and found yours to be the most informative. Great detail in your instructions, unlike other videos which leave me with questions. thank you very much
Oh wow, thanks so much for the feedback, that's lovely. Stay tuned for Part 2 coming out next month! :)
That was extremely helpful found you by chance but i prayed for God to help im old and suffer terribly with hernia to the point where i throw up and almost pass out so many many thanks
Oh wow, that's wonderful. Divine intervention :) Sounds like It was a nasty hernia. You might need to do this treatment a few times to help keep the stomach down
Does the stomach eventually stays down or you must to do the exercises every day
@@Superman94. Yep it should! And really only need to do the treatment 1-3 x in order to keep it down. I'm preparing a Part 2 for post-treatment support - will be released next month :)
I really finde peace with your video. 🙏
@@edithiriarte2769 That's great to hear :)
Thank you very much, i feel better already 😊
That's great, so glad it helped! :)
I don't have a hiatal hernia, but food does get stuck just before it reaches my stomach. Doctors haven't given me a definitive answer, but for past 20 years if I eat greasy food chased with cold tea the food gets stuck before reaching the stomach. I often had to throw up the the food then I can finish my meal with no problem. A hand full of almonds seemed to help sometimes, but not always. Recently I take a deep breath, hold it for a few seconds and exhale against my thumb while swallowing. Looks pretty ridiculous in public so I go for any privacy available. Every few years I've had doctors stretch that area between the esophagus and stomach with symptoms going away for 6 months to a year. My Dad and Granddad had the same problem. Hope this will help anyone with similar problems and have an internal medicine doctor that is good.
Sorry to hear this. Why do you say you don;t have a hiatal hernia? Is that just based on endoscopy findings?
Sounds like achalasia to me.
This exercise along with my Iqoro device have been game changers! Thank you
Awesome :)
lol, 145 quids?!! it's the most expensive pacifier replacement I've ever seen!! I hope you got the device as a gift.
My chiropractor works the left side but when I try myself the left side never works … going to try this method
Let me know how you go with it? :)
Thanks for this. How do you heal and strengthen the lower esophageal sphincter as well as the diaphragm to help to stop the stomach returning back up into the esophagus ?
I don't know of any specific remedial exercises, but post hiatal hernia care will help keep the stomach down to enable healing of any diaphragmatic tearing that leads to relapses. And we've had countless clients have long-term stability when we've done deeper adrenal, nervous system, brain retraining & gut healing :)
Get an iqoro device or get Pam Fox's hiatal hernia course
Lie on your back (if you can) and hold your head up off the ground. Hold for 30 seconds. Repeat 7 times. This apparently strengthens the diaphragm.
Very informative video! Curious what the relationship between the Hiatal Hernia and Occipital Lobe tenderness could be?
Great question! It's to do with the vagus nerve - releasing tension the OL area, releases the vagus nerve, which allows the stomach to drop
Makes sense : ) Thanks for this info!@@chrisandfilly
@@jamesmaltieri My pleasure! :)
I find my hiatal hernia pops up when my stomach is empty. Some weight in my stomach helps to keep it down. Drinking a glass of water before eating seems to help.
This is my experience. Being slightly impoverished I find it hard to find actually decent, weighty food to put in my stomach in order to weigh it down though.
@@laylabranom5494 So sorry you are slightly impoverished! You seem so intelligent? Do you live in an oppressed nation?
Very thorough and informative. i've learned a lot!
That's great! :)
I do stretches, arching my back a few times and that seems to work.
That's awesome, thanks for sharing :)
I’ve been suffering since around September/October with some kind of anxiety and pain in my upper abdomen/chest. I thought it was because of my cholecystectomy in July, but my recent endoscopy revealed that I have a small hiatus hernia and moderate severe gastritis. I’m wondering which of these is causing the feeling. I don’t get my biopsy results until the 19th to solve the gastritis, so in the meantime, I’ll try this for the hernia.
Both symptoms are common with hiatus hernia
❤It. Thanks for sharing informations. God Bless
Thank you for your feedback :)
Good medical advice thanks
thank you :)
Ok filly I will watch your next video 🙏🏻
Thank you! I'll have to get cracking creating it :)
Great video Filly! I have yet to see the stomach pull down method for the right side at the rib cage. Do you think the pull down method from the spot of the hernia down to the stomach is good as well or do you feel this method is superior and should be done exclusively? Also, I found the cranial point interesting as I have yet to hear that and my left side was definitely tender and not the right.
Hi Jason, thanks heaps, glad you found some value! Applying pressure on the right side helps to gently guide the stomach down and around the fingers. It's far less invasive than trying to pull the stomach down on the left side, and works a treat!! Patients hardly feel a thing, as opposed to the left-side tugging of the stomach. Ah, yes, give that left side of the cranial point some daily love until it's no longer tender. This will also keep the stomach down.
My LMT also manipulated on the left side also. The hiatal hernia did not show on the xray esophagram that I had the next day.
❤her video!
@@Fetherko thank you :) Oh yes, if hiatal hernia is small, it won't show up on xrays/scans, or it can also be sliding so may have been in place when X-ray was taken
I was diagnosed a hiatal Hernia after an endoscopy procedure and my doctor said the only way to fix it is thru surgery so do you think there is no need for a surgery for this?
I would definitely try this non-invasive treatment first. If the hiatal hernia is very big, it can make a big tear in the diaphragm wall, which can cause the stomach to pop back up. The wall can heal on its own, but may need to do regular treatment while the wall heals up.
Can you use this technique standing up? For instance when you feel that the stomach is in the wrong position, but you're in the office or on a walk and don't have a good place to lie down?
Yep you sure can :)
I show a hiatal hernia after endoscopy and the doctors give no help on how to fix the problem! Nothing. Thanks
Hope this helps you! Let me know how you go? :)
Did you try it? Did it work?
I searched for your credentials, but couldn't find a CV or any other training background. Will you share those, Please?
What type of practitioner should I see? Chiropractors have even said that treatment wasn't certain.
Doctors have shrugged their shoulders at my hiatal hernia for years, but I'm convinced that it is the cause of my halitosis. I was diagnosed with a small hiatal hernia in 2004. I really want to find a non- surgical solution.
Hi, I'm a functional medicine practitioner. Yes you could try a Chiro or Osteo or massage therapist if they are trained in hiatal hernia treatment. I sought extra qualifications to learn it myself as not many manual therapists knew how to treat it. We have clients both in person & virtual who get great results addressing hiatal hernia & gut health. Where are you located?
How often do you recommend to do this per day and at which time during the day is the best, morning, day or night?
You only need to do it once to effectively pull the stomach down. If you notice symptoms returning (days, weeks or months later), then do it again. Usually my clients need to do the treatment 3 times, to keep stomach down as the diaphragm wall heals.
@@chrisandfilly oki thanks then I know.
@@chrisandfilly How many times can I do this without any risk of doing it worse, if I need to do this more than 3 times?
@@danielis2653 It's a very gentle procedure so unlikely of making things worse (unless liver issues - pressing down on liver side could put pressure on liver). If you're not getting any improvement after doing the procedure a few times, I'd book in with a therapist to try the treatment professionally, or you are welcome to book in for a virtual initial consult with me to look into other body systems & root-causes that are preventing the stomach from healing - www.chrisandfilly.fm/Initial-consult
Oki thanks. Which time during the day Is the best to do this, morning, day or before sleep?
Wondering if the pressure on the right side towards the left hip can be done daily for months and also how many times per day is recommended if needed. Thanks.
Yes, it's a very gentle procedure, so would be fine to do daily, as often as you feel. Although, it is very effective so I find with my clients it only needs to be done 1 - 3 times to keep stomach in place for the long-term. If you're needing to do it every day for months, then there are other issues that need addressing (i.e. adrenals, nervous system, gut health). With our clients we take a holistic approach to healing, which is why our clients only need to do the treatment 1-3 times as we're addressing deeper root-causes.
1-3 times😮 wish you were in Brisbane😢
@@michaelsimpson578 Oh, this includes our clients who live interstate & international who use this video (we're working on other body systems & root-causes at the same time). It's totally possible for you! :)
I have a small 1cm hiatal hernia since 2 years , now I have heartburn and pain bottom ribs area, I am in Toronto area Canada, is there any help available .? Thanks for reply, I am 80 years old will be in touch .
Oh, I'm so sorry you're struggling to find help. Did you give this release a go for yourself? I created this video originally for our clients (we work virtually with ppl all over the world), and it works well to do on your own. If this isn't helping, you've likely got other areas that need work in order for the stomach to stay down - i.e. gut health & nervous system support. You can check out ways we help here - www.chrisandfilly.fm/work-with-us
During the 4 minutes are you on top of the rib cage, or underneath?
underneath :)
I didn't seem to test positive for the hernia but i have symptoms and thinking i might have a sliding one? Not sure but did the treatment for it you show. It took several days of doing the right side pressure on the abdomen in short episodes ...not yet 4 minutes. It felt uncomfortable and sore so i worked up to longer. Then I start feeling good and could do it longer. One particular session i felt movement in my abdomen not necessarily through the hands though. Eventually i felt like a melting of the tissue with my hands and less pressure in my stomach area. Is this unusual to take several days to work up to 4 minutes? And since i am feeling a change does that most likely mean i may have one? Or maybe i have adhesions and this helped my stomach go back into position. Thank you
That's amazing, well done for persevering! It can take a few goes to slide the stomach back down. As for taking a few days to work up to the 4mins, it's likely there were either painful adhesions around diaphragm area on the right side (which can take time to break down), or might've been liver/gallbladder tenderness - although that likely wouldn't have eased over the days.
Are you doing this maneuver on yourself? It looks like it would be difficult to do it correctly on oneself.
@@rebeccatrono3376 yeah on myself, it looks like she is just putting her fingers on an angle near the ribcage covering the liver. From what I see you push down, you can feel the side of the stomach. Then after 4 minutes just three twists that help keep the stomach going down. I can't say I did it perfectly like her but I found it easy to do on myself yes 💓
@@rebeccatrono3376 Hello :) In this video, I'm performing on another person. But I created this video first & foremost for clients to treat themselves at home, as we work with clients virtually all over the world. Many of our clients have successfully pulled their stomach down doing the manoeuvre on themselves, or getting another person to do it for them :)
Hlo, mam I have small hital hernia 4 last 3 months, I feel too much acidity, heart burn n doc giving me ppi but they r not working n doc r not doing operation 😢 wht to do?
Try this method! :) If this doesn't help, you're welcome to book in to get a more thorough assessment of what is the root-cause - www.chrisandfilly.fm/Initial-consult
Is this safe to do if you have had a fundoplication?
I would advise against it as the stomach is sewn onto the oesophagus so going to be very difficult to move the stomach. Plus, you wouldn't need this technique if the stomach has already be surgically pulled back down.
Can someone do this treatment while pregnant?
If you're early in pregnancy, yes it would be fine. Later on in pregnancy, would be hard to get the pressure right as Bub/uterus is in the way! :)
What is left;,, me looking out or you looking at me
The left of the person having the treatment done
On the right side where?
Hello! Do you mean where to place your hands to release the hiatal hernia? You press just under ribcage and drag down slightly to the belly button :)
@@chrisandfillygot it now. I was confused because on the right side you have liver, but i think you need to massage a little under the rib cage, the diaphragm. My pain is on the right side, besides i have costochodrities too so But thx
Please look out, I’m paralysed by a hernia T9… I have 7 hernias just one cut my spinel cord and I can never walk again.. I have lot of back issues for many years but now I’m in a wheelchair, for me it’s ok now many year of pain like hell, pain is not over but with rolling I’m more mobile than the times a walked eary days, I wish that I had a chair kopple years before for longer distance, I say that to some people that had back issues also, but answer is always “ but I’m not paralysed” wheelchairs are not only for people that bin paralysed, if t makes your live easier you won, but lot of people are scared about other people and I understand that, many people are not talking anymore to me, the think I’m said, they don’t know what to say etc… But I’m Michel from Holland, disable or here before, I think the same, I eat the same, I feel emotional the same, I’M still the same… wish everyone a healthy day Grtzzz from The Netherlands..

Oh wow, I'm so sorry to hear this
@@chrisandfillyit’s oke.. thxs for your message ❤
Is that a scarf u are wearing?
Yes.
🙏🏻😊
Strange way to test for Hiatal Hernia. I wouldn’t put any stock in this whatsoever.
It is strange - strangely effective, lol!
WTF is that around your neck?
😂
Relax, dude, it's a scarf, not a boa constrictor! :)
