How it works
Mechanical stimulation promotes colonic peristalsis and reduces transit time. May also reduce colonic spasm and improve anorectal function.
Do not perform on a full stomach or with abdominal pain. Avoid post-abdominal surgery. Can be self-administered or taught by a physiotherapist.
Getting started
This is a lifestyle-based approach. Start gradually and consult a health professional if you have any concerns about suitability for your situation.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
