Abdominal massage for functional constipation and bloating from gas.
Abdominal massage is a non-invasive therapy targeting the large intestine area gently manipulating the abdomen to ease constipation symptoms. It can encourage poo to move through the bowel. The massage is usually carried out in a clockwise pattern, following the path of the bowel, and normally takes roughly 20 minutes.
It may:
• Help relax your stomach muscles that in turn can help digestion and relieve constipation
• Help stool move through the bowel more quickly
• Reduce trapped wind and cramping, which may ease tummy pain
• Make stools softer and easier to pass
Research highlights that abdominal massage may help people poo more often, makes it easier to go, improves stool consistency, and improves quality of life for people with constipation. It is used widely in the NHS to reduce constipation.
