HHHHHmmmmm - I was told it was meant to relax the muscle. I could see how it would work if done at selected areas around the esophagus, (not completely relaxed - just enough to make it easier to swallow for some people. I am just putting it out there. I know it works well for patients who have a lot of muscular pain... Maybe in places like the jaw even? Just ruminating. hugs
