Synopsis

Comprehensive guide to constipation in adults and children, with a focus on habitual constipation and the most effective mechanical treatments. This medical text covers anatomy, causes, and course of constipation, then moves into practical, hands‑on treatment strategies. It emphasizes how mechanical methods, massage, and supervised exercise can support bowel regularity, alongside hygienic and dietary guidance. Readers will find a detailed discussion of massage techniques, Swedish movement approaches, and age‑specific considerations for infants and children. The book aims to help clinicians and informed readers understand options beyond medication, including how to apply methods safely and effectively in real life.

Structured to build from foundational anatomy to tangible therapies, the edition presents clear step‑by‑step instructions and illustrative guidance. It discusses when and how to use various treatments, the role of exercise, and how to tailor approaches to individual needs. While rich in clinical detail, the text remains focused on practical application for improving stool regularity and reducing complications associated with constipation.

• Foundational overview of the intestinal tract and common etiologies of constipation.


• In‑depth treatment chapters on atony, spastic constipation, and irritable rectum.


• Hands‑on massage techniques, including contraindications and best practices.


• Exercise and kinesipathy approaches, with guidance on how to integrate with other therapies.

Ideal for readers seeking a practical, clinical approach to constipation management, including caregivers and health professionals looking for structured, mechanical treatment options.
