Bowel & Digestive Health at
PhysioFit Physical Therapy & Wellness
Bowel health and digestive issues often go overlooked for far too long.
Often this causes more pain. Physical therapy has a variety of techniques to help you.
Understanding Bowel Health & Digestive Pain
Bowel health and digestion is a topic that is starting to get more and more light shed on it as we move into the future. The reason? As general health declines, our gut health is the one to pay the price first. Things like diarrhea, constipation, bloating, leakage, etc. are becoming more and more common. The end result? Bowel and digestive health make their way to the center stage.

What Our Clients Say
H.S.
“I was totally skeptical coming in. Even a little resistant. But I had the best session ever. I keep waiting for “the catch”. Like, how could this have possibly worked within an hour– something that I’ve been carrying around, in and out of therapy, for years? But now, two months later, I still feel free of my burden. Before I left, I took a bunch of Divya’s business cards. I have a few friends who could really use her help!”

“I have been seeing Janet Perrino for multifaceted neuro-muscular-skeletal-joint issues combined with fibromyalgia. Janet’s knowledge of anatomy and how it affects the function of body parts is golden and unmatched by any other physical therapist or even doctors. She was able to quickly figure out my problems and find solutions that resulted in, pretty much, instant improvement and pain relief. Incredibly grateful for all the help and treatments.”
