innner casing

I don't think inner casing is the appropriate term but it identifies the subject of this post. What I am talking about is the inner lining of the abdominal cavity. If can imagine your body as just a trunk, no head, arms or legs and envision a sheet of soft tissue on the inside of your bone structure from the top ribs down to and lining the inside of the pelvis. This is what I would like to term the casing.
Yesterday I spent time with a patient who has felt twisted up in pain. We've been working together for a couple months now "untwisting". This week we have discovered his casing is twisting to the left. So I've given him a pilates inspired exercise where he will sit on a physioball arms stretched out to the side and spinal twist to the right only. This is to re-educate what is twisting to the left. We'll see how he how much closer he is to being balanced at the next visit. I'm interested to find out. The other trouble is that the twisting is causing a pinched nerve. Cheers to him getting better and the nerve getting un-pinched.
