Constipation and Your Pelvic Floor: It’s Not Just About Fibre
Have you ever felt like you're doing everything "right,” you are eating fibre, drinking water, exercising but you're still struggling to poo regularly and comfortably? You are not alone. Constipation affects a huge portion of the population, and for many people, the missing piece isn't just diet, it also includes the pelvic floor.
What is the best position to poo?
Your pelvic health physio will individualise the position they advise depending on your specific presentation. They will do this by first assessing your underlying issue so they can treat all the causes. They will then suggest an optimal position and assess toileting habits which may contribute to any bowel related ongoing issues.
