What Is Constipation?
Constipation happens when your bowel movements have become less frequent, typically when you’re going fewer than three times per week. It can also refer to when it’s difficult to pass your bowel movements. The decrease in bowel movements you’re experiencing can last for several weeks, if not longer. Sometimes you will find that your stools are hard and dry.
What Are the Symptoms?
While constipation is a very common thing for many Americans, it’s essential to understand what the symptoms are so you know when to seek the help of a professional manual therapist for targeted manual therapy to relieve your constipation.
These are some of the most common symptoms of constipation:
- Having less than three stools a week.
- Lumpy or hard stools.
- Straining or struggling to pass bowel movements.
- Feel like there is a blockage in your rectum that prevents movement.
- Feel like you can’t empty your stool.
- Need any kind of help to empty your rectum, such as pressing on your abdomen with your hands and using a finger to remove stool from your rectum.
If you’ve been experiencing any of these symptoms regularly, then it’s worth it to call a manual therapy clinic that specializes in abdominal manual for constipation. The good news is that Impact Medical in Miami has the skills, experienced, and knowledge to help you get the relief from constipation you need to live a healthier life.
Why Abdominal Manual Works?
Targeted abdominal manual can be highly effective in treating your chronic constipation. Because when a professional manual therapist does it, they’re trained in how to help:
- Increase the frequency of your bowel movements.
- Decrease colonic transit time.
- Relieve pain and discomfort.
That’s because abdominal manual has been shown to help stimulate the muscle contractions that help you pass your bowel movements, especially in people with post-surgical ileus.
By getting regular manuals, you can relieve constipation because manual therapy is designed to help you release gas and waste products stuck in your intestines and rectum. It may also help treat other underlying or accompanying conditions that you’re experiencing. For example, did you know that regular manual can reduce your stress and, in turn, lower the pain associated with irritable bowel syndrome?
