Relief for Constipation

Reflexology for help with constipation

Constipation can affect us all at some time in our life for various reasons; it is also very common for babies to suffer with constipation as their digestive system adjusts to life outside the womb.

Reflexology can help in many ways to alleviate constipation. Firstly it is important to relax, as this will make the passing of stools much easier. This is done with reflexology by working the whole diaphragm reflex. Other reflexes include the large colon, to encourage movement; the ileocecal valve (the valve that prevents the backflow of toxic substances from the large colon into the small intestine), the gall bladder for lubrication and the adrenals for muscle tone.

If you are suffering from constipation, reflexology can help ease the pain and discomfort and restore natural movement. Why not call for a chat to see how?
