Physical Therapy for ABDOMINAL DISORDERS
Digestive discomfort can deeply affect your quality of life — from bloating and constipation to cramping and irregular bowel movements. While traditional treatments often rely on medications or invasive procedures, at PDR Physical Therapy & Wellness Center in Mount Prospect, IL, we offer a gentle, non-invasive alternative through Fascial Counterstrain therapy. This advanced form of abdominal physical therapy targets the fascial system — the connective tissue that supports your organs and muscles — to restore natural balance and improve digestive function. Unlike conventional therapy focused mainly on muscles or joints, our fascial-based approach relieves tension at the source, helping your body heal from within.

ABDOMINAL CONDITIONS WE TREAT
- Acid Reflux & Heartburn: Tightness in the diaphragm and surrounding fascia can contribute to reflux. At PD Rehab in Mount Prospect, IL, we use Fascial Counterstrain — a gentle, non-invasive method that releases fascial tension and supports natural digestion.
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS):IBS causes bloating, pain, and irregular bowel movements. Instead of relying on diet or medication, our Fascial Counterstrain therapy relieves fascial restrictions, improves gut mobility, and regulates bowel function.
- Chronic Constipation: Constipation may stem from nervous-system dysfunction or restricted circulation. Fascial Counterstrain enhances blood flow and intestinal motility, helping restore natural, regular bowel movements through gentle abdominal physical therapy.
- Post-Surgical Scar Tissue & Adhesions: Scar tissue from abdominal surgeries can restrict organ movement. Our therapy combines manual techniques and laser therapy to release adhesions and restore full mobility, promoting faster recovery without traditional rehab methods.
NON-INVASIVE ABDOMINAL THERAPY
At PD Rehab in Mount Prospect, IL, we treat abdominal problems using Fascial Counterstrain — a gentle, non-invasive, and drug-free form of abdominal physical therapy that targets the fascia, the connective tissue surrounding your digestive organs. This technique releases deep tension and restrictions, restoring natural mobility and function within the abdominal system. Whether you struggle with acid reflux, bloating, IBS, constipation, or post-surgical scar tissue, our therapists focus on treating the root cause of your symptoms rather than just masking them.
“After just a few therapy sessions, I felt my abdomen begin to relax, and the digestive problems I had struggled with for years started to disappear.” — Anna, PD Rehab patient
By improving gut mobility, enhancing blood flow, and reducing fascial tension, Fascial Counterstrain promotes healthy digestion and regular bowel movements — without harsh medications or invasive procedures. It also helps relieve stress by calming both physical and emotional tension often linked to anxiety, poor posture, or digestive imbalance.
This comprehensive, holistic approach provides lasting relief and supports overall digestive health for patients of all ages.
