Conditions We Treat
What is Digestive Problems
Many people are surprised to learn that osteopathy can assist with digestive complaints. Issues such as constipation or indigestion can sometimes be linked to mechanical tensions in the abdomen or the mid spinal region. Our practitioners use gentle visceral manipulation to encourage the normal movement of the internal organs. We also check the function of the diaphragm, which plays a key role in massaging the digestive tract during breathing. By releasing these physical restrictions, we can help to improve gut motility and reduce the discomfort associated with various digestive disturbances.
