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.
