I understood that. Just wanted to know if the masseuse specifically pitched the idea to OP, after hearing his complaint or whether it was just a happy co-incidence.

It's a specific alternative therapy, a traditional practice associated with adjusting or repositioning the stomach in folk healing. The woman who performed this on me is a physiotherapist.

Thanks for clarifying it - does this alternative therapy have a name?

Honestly, I don't know, translated it would be stomach alignment, it was popularized by a traditional healer and herbalist nun who lived in Bosnia.
