Brief Summary:
The main aim of this randomized controlled trial is to investigate the effects of postural correctional exercises and interventions on the severity of symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease GERD as well as the quality of life of patients afflicated with this disease The main questions this study aims to answer is
1 Do postural correctional exercises reduce the symptoms of GERD
2 Do postural correctional exercises improve the quality of life of individuals afflicted with GERD
The experimental group in this study will undergo real postural correctional exercises whereas the control group will undergo sham postural correctional interventions and then the two groups will be compared post-treatment based on GERD severity of symptoms as well as quality of life of the patients afflicted with GERD

Detailed Description:
Gastroesophageal reflux disease GERD is a disease that occurs when the normal physiological process termed gastroesophageal reflux GER begins to cause painful harmful or irritating signs and symptoms to certain individuals This happens when the defence lines composed mainly of the lower esophageal sphincter LES and the angle of His are affected by a multitude of factors These include abnormal resting pressure of the LES increase intra-abdominal pressure compared to the resting pressure of the LES certain medication side effects and certain body positioning The latter combined with posture has also been pointed out as a factor that might affect GERD by affecting the angle of His that acts similar to a valve between the esophagus and the curvature of the stomach
Several works of literature have found a link between GERD and postural abnormalities or deformities Scoliosis defined as a spinal deformity consisting of a lateral curvature with or without rotation of the vertebra has been shown to be a risk factor of GERD More specifically a left-sided thoracolumbar or lumbar lateral curvature especially when greater than 30 degrees has been cited by several studies as a risk factor for consideration with regards to GERD
Accordingly a certain relationship might be present between spinal deformities andor abnormal spinal positioning more specifically in the thoracic and thoracolumbar regions and severity as well as prevalence of GERD As such the aim of this study is to investigate the effect of postural correctional interventions PCI on severity of GERD symptoms and quality of life in patients afflicted with the disease
