motility specialists

Motility specialists are healthcare professionals, often gastroenterologists, who diagnose and treat conditions affecting the movement of muscles along the digestive tract. These muscles are responsible for pushing food and liquids through the esophagus, stomach, and intestines—a process called motility. When this movement is disrupted, it can cause symptoms like difficulty swallowing, reflux, constipation, or diarrhea. Motility specialists use specialized tests to assess how well these muscles are working and develop targeted treatments, which may include medications, therapies, or interventions to improve or restore normal digestive motility.
