Small Intestine and Mesenteric Roots

Unreal Results for Physical Therapists and Athletic Trainers

In this episode of the Unreal Results Podcast, I talk about the Mesenteric Roots of the small intestines and their significance in cases of low back pain. I dive into the anatomy and function of the mesenteric root, including its relationship with the duodenal jejunal flexure and the ligament of Treitz. I also talk about the reflexive connections between the mesenteric root, blood flow, lymphatic flow, and nervous system tension. Lastly, I provides some insights to treating the Mesenteric Roots, including spinal mobilization and mobilizing the route itself with the use of soft massage tools, such as the coregeous ball.

Considering the viscera as a source of musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction is a great way to ensure a more true whole body approach to care, however it can be a bit overwhelming on where to start, which is exactly why I created the Visceral Referral Cheat Sheet.
