Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common gastrointestinal disorder, involving an abnormal condition of gut contractions (motility), and increased gut sensations (visceral hypersensitivity), characterized by abdominal pain and/or discomfort, gas, bloating, mucous in stools, and irregular bowel habits with constipation, diarrhea, or alternating diarrhea and constipation.

Physical therapy can help with visceral mobilization, physiological quieting or stress reduction techniques, pain relieving measures, and pelvic floor muscle reeducation.
