Dr. Kate usually assesses EVERYONE’S abdomen and it is often a place that we do NOT want to be touched. It is important to see how your diaphragm (breathing muscle) is working because it affects lymph flow, stabilizes the spine, anchors your core, and regulates your nervous system.  Why does she care about your lymphatic system??? Because a stagnant lymph system leads to MAJOR INFLAMMATION and that is the catalyst for a lot of pain. We want to get that moving very well again for you. It affects your muscles, joints, digestion, pelvic floor, and mental clarity. Inflammation is key in a lot of issues that we face.
