Constipation Relief
Did you know that you could have a bowel movement every day and still be constipated? Did you know that constipation can contribute to urinary leaking, back pain, and pelvic organ prolapse symptoms? If you are having less than three bowel movements a week, experience difficulty passing stool, hard stools, or incomplete emptying during bowel movements, we can help.
Many patients are told to increase their fiber intake to resolve constipation. Although this may help some, it is often just a piece of the puzzle to finding long term relief from constipation.
If increasing fiber alone is not improving your constipation, we can help.
We discuss daily habits and help you develop a bowel routine (that works with your lifestyle and schedule!) to support your digestive system
We discuss the different types of fiber, hydration, and other factors that can affect stool consistency
We assess and treat the digestive and pelvic organs through visceral manipulation techniques to improve mobility and motility for optimal digestion (learn more about visceral manipulation here)
We complete a full orthopedic and pelvic health assessment to determine what type of exercises and movement education may help your symptoms
