Osteopathy does not treat digestive disorders in isolation, but considers contributing factors such as stress, diet, lack of physical activity and and overall health.
Constipation
A common condition that affects many people, characterized by:
– Difficulty passing stool;
– Infrequent bowel movements;
– A sensation of incomplete evacuation;
If left untreated, constipation can significantly impact quality of life and lead to complications.
Gastroesophageal reflux & Heartburn
Reflux occurs when stomach contents flow back into the esophagus, often causing:
- A burning sensation in the chest (heartburn)
- Regurgitation (the sensation of food returning to the mouth without vomiting)
How Osteopathy Supports Digestive Health
By restoring functional balance and mobility in the gastrointestinal system, osteopathy helps:
- Relieve abdominal discomfort
- Promote bowel movement
- Improve overall digestive function
