Description

When the lower abdomen hurts, the gut gets the blame first.
Irritable bowel, maybe.
Something with the uterus.
A weak bladder.
But sometimes there's no clear answer —
no matter how carefully everything is examined.
There's something dense when you press into it.
A heavy, pressing weight when sitting.
A pulling sensation in the lower abdomen that has nothing to do with the cycle.
In most cases like this, the organs are not the problem.
The muscles surrounding the lower abdomen have tightened.
The lower portion of the rectus abdominis has shortened.
The iliopsoas is pulling the lower abdomen inward from deep inside.
The place where pain is felt and the place where the problem starts are not the same.
Before suspecting the organs,
look at the muscles first.
This book was written to make that structure visible —
and to give you the tools to release it yourself.
Ten minutes is enough to find the right direction.
When the direction is right, the body responds first.
