§    Balloon Exercise
§  GERD/Heartburn can occur with dysfunctional breathing, especially with chest breathing. Chest breathing results in the stomach moving too close to the diaphragm putting pressure on the sphincter muscles that are responsible for keeping it closed. The following exercise is designed to gently drop the stomach back into place and strengthen the sphincter (round) muscle that links the esophagus to the stomach.


  1. First thing in the morning, on an empty stomach, drink a large glass of water.
  2. Stand on your toes and then drop on your heels five times. Heel-toe, heel-toe repeated. This helps to move the stomach back into place.
  3. Blow up a balloon. It doesn't matter whether or not you are successful in blowing up the balloon, it is the action of blowing up the balloon that will strengthen the sphincter muscles.
