Ileocecal Valve Technique

Diagnosis
This technique is particularly helpful for clients with constipation, diarrhoea, and pelvic floor symptoms where irregular colonic transit contributes to their presentation.

Why It’s Appropriate
The ileocecal valve helps regulate the movement of contents from the small intestine into the colon. When the valve is irritated, sluggish, or overly active, it can contribute to abdominal discomfort, constipation, urgency, or loose stools.
This gentle manual technique supports more balanced colonic transit, reduces abdominal tension, and can improve overall bowel motility. Because it is simple to teach and safe for clients and patients to use at home, it promotes self-management and continuity between sessions. It also integrates well with pelvic floor work, as improving bowel regularity helps reduce straining, improve coordination, and lessen unnecessary pressure on the pelvic floor.
