Constipation is a condition causing infrequent bowel movements, often less than three times a week. Women can be at risk of constipation for a number of reasons and it is important to see a women’s health physiotherapist if you are experiencing any symptoms of constipation as soon as possible. There are two main types of constipation:
  • Slow transit constipation: a delay in stool movement in the bowels
  • Obstructed constipation: an inability to fully relieve your bowels despite an urgency to do so
Physiotherapy is a very effective way of reducing the symptoms of constipation and optimising your recovery. Physio.co.uk have specialist women’s health physiotherapists who will be able to give you a thorough assessment and treatment programme specific to your needs and goals.
