Physical Therapy for Gastrointestinal Disorders

This book thoroughly examines all treatment options for gastrointestinal disorders based on physical therapy. While numerous publications explore the impact of physical therapy on anorectal disorders such as fecal incontinence, defecation disorders, or proctalgia, there is increasing evidence supporting the therapeutic options of physical therapy for other digestive disorders, including dyspepsia, gastroparesis, chronic vomiting, or cholelithiasis, among others. This book presents updated evidence of physical therapy as a therapeutic option for various gastrointestinal disorders beyond anorectal disturbances.
