Bon jour, Baguette!

To clarify: Is the "bridge" pose when you lie on your back on the floor, with feet flat and knees bent, and then you raise your pelvis up towards the ceiling, resting your weight on feet and upper back/shoulders?

I used your link to NIH. Sounds like the exercise works well!

Thanks!

So I Google exercises for hiatel hernia and after doing some research, I found videos on breathing and stretching exercises and right away it helped. Thank you so much for the idea. Wonder why my dr didn't recommend this but maybe now I can avoid a surgery.

Yes! That is a good description of the bridge exercise.
