Treatment - Constipation / indigestion

What is Constipation / indigestion?

Constipation and indigestion are common gastrointestinal issues that can lead to discomfort and affect overall well-being.

Treatment & solution

Stress Reduction
Bowen therapy aims to induce a state of deep relaxation by targeting specific points on the body. Stress and anxiety can contribute to gastrointestinal issues by altering digestive function and slowing down bowel movements. By promoting relaxation and reducing stress levels, Bowen therapy may help alleviate symptoms of constipation and indigestion.
Normalization of Autonomic Nervous System
Bowen therapy is believed to have an effect on the autonomic nervous system, which regulates involuntary functions such as digestion and relaxation response. By balancing the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches of the autonomic nervous system, Bowen therapy may help normalize digestive function and improve gastrointestinal motility.
Muscle Relaxation and Diaphragmatic Release
Bowen therapy techniques involve gentle manipulation of muscles, tendons, and ligaments, which can help relax tight muscles and release tension in the diaphragm and abdominal region. Tightness in the abdominal muscles and diaphragm can contribute to digestive discomfort and impede normal bowel movements. By promoting muscle relaxation and diaphragmatic release, Bowen therapy may help improve gastrointestinal function and alleviate symptoms of constipation and indigestion.
Normalization of Visceral Reflexes
Bowen therapy involves targeting specific points on the body to stimulate visceral reflexes and trigger the body’s self-healing mechanisms. By addressing imbalances in the digestive organs and promoting proper functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, Bowen therapy may help improve digestion, enhance nutrient absorption, and reduce symptoms of constipation and indigestion.
Improvement in Lymphatic Drainage
Bowen therapy techniques can help improve lymphatic drainage and circulation in the abdominal region. Improved lymphatic flow may aid in the removal of toxins and metabolic waste products from the digestive organs, promoting detoxification and reducing inflammation, which may help alleviate symptoms of constipation and indigestion.
