Constipation is a true disturbance and a pain to your daily life man, woman or child. On average having 3 bowel movements daily to 3 a week is considered normal- but less than this or straining to pass hard, painful stool is not acceptable. Of course, there are various over-the-counter treatments but pelvic health therapy is most effective. Through specific exercises, biofeedback and specialized abdominal massage to facilitate movements are quite effective. Defecation mechanics, posturing and breathing are instructed to facilitate better bowel movements as well as self-care.
