Are there exercises that strengthen the lower esophageal sphincter?

I wonder if there is utube demonstrating these exercises because I would really like to try them. I am at my wits end with LPR and now my husband has also been diagnosed although his symptoms are slightly different from mine. I have become deaf from LPR and it is not a normal deafness. When I speak the sound resounds into my head and is really annoying because it means I don't want to talk. Either a U-tube or a physio therapist who knows about this method would really help.

I have been doing the breathing exercises in this video for a couple of weeks or so now.. I was already doing the diaphragm breathing after my open abdominal surgery in 2015. Adding the side resistance seems to help my sphincter to open. It works better for me when standing .. I try to do them when I take my dog outside in our yard.

The outings are anywhere from 5 -15 minutes. I add stretching exercises too .. my neighbors probably get a giggle from watching me .. lol. I have started doing .. not sure what to call them but while doing these breathing exercises I sorta go on the balls of my feet and come down on my heels, enough to jar me slightly. Because of previous foot surgery and arthritis I can not go up on my toes. The grass and my foam shoes soften the jar of my heels coming down.

Maybe the video will help others:
