Massage Therapy for Constipation

Some people with disabilities suffer from constipation. Contributing factors can include the medications that they may take, low levels of physical activity, insufficient fluids and a diet that may be too low in fibre. Increasing the amount of fibre in the diet not only treats constipation but also lowers cholesterol, may reduce the risk of various cancers and bowel diseases, and improves general health and wellbeing.
