TRY some of the best POOPING techniques for kids & adults recommended by a pelvic floor physical therapist!💩

Are you sitting on the toilet longer than 5-10 minutes for a bowel movement?💩

Pooping should be completed within seconds to a few minutes!💩

Yes, even sitting for 5 minutes is a very long time.

The “squatty potty” under our feet helps to flex our hips and spine to relax or lengthen the puborectalis muscle for easier and healthier bowel movements. Normally, this muscle wraps around the rectum like a horshoe and attaches to the pubic symphysis to prevent fecal incontinence or poop leaking out! The muscle contracts and pulls tight around the rectum acting like a valve to shut off the passage of stool. This muscle contraction pulls the rectum forward creating the anorectal angle causing a natural “kink” to prevent fecal leakage. HOWEVER, you need to be able to RELAX this muscle during bowel movements to prevent the passage of stool so you don’t get CONSTIPATED! 🤯

Using a “squatty potty” with these techniques ABOVE ⬆️ will help pass POOP without chronic straining or pushing which can cause HEMORROIDS and PROLAPSE!

Diaphragmatic breathing along with these postures and techniques will help to eliminate stool without holding your breath.

ROCKING forwards/backwards, clockwise & side to side will help naturally push the stool out by applying external pressure!

Standing up and sitting down can help to push the stool down/out and prevent extra stool getting “half stuck” exiting the anus! Especially if you have STICKY STOOL that pinches off into little pieces or gets gets caught on INTERNAL HEMORROIDS!💩

Remember you contract your abdominal muscles and LENGTHEN the pelvic floor muscles for POOPING! Activating your abdominal muscles will help to increase intra-abdominal pressure to help with the passage of stool but DON’T HOLD YOUR BREATH!🛑
