Summary
The aim of this study is to compare the effects of abdominal massage and kinesio taping on constipation severity, quality of life, bowel habits and perception of recovery in women with chronic constipation.
Detailed description
Constipation is not a disease but a subjective symptom characterized by inadequate defecation, the definition of which varies from person to person. It is known that abdominal massage, which is one of the physiotherapy approaches, reduces the severity of gastrointestinal symptoms and increases bowel movements. Kinesio taping applied for constipation can also increase bowel movement, increase the frequency of defecation and decrease the duration of defecation. However, there is a need for studies comparing the effects of these two different applications.
