Constipation after stroke? Do this:

If you or someone you're caring for has dealt with constipation since a stroke, you're far from alone — it's incredibly common, and rarely talked about openly. In this video, I walk through 5 things that make a mechanical difference: a simple positioning change, a self-massage technique that follows your colon's path, why breathing beats straining, gentle trunk rotation, and a fiber protocol with an important safety warning for anyone with swallowing difficulties. ⚠️ If there's severe abdominal pain, vomiting, blood, or several days with no bowel movement at all, that's not a "try these tips" situation — please contact your doctor. This is educational content, not medical advice. Always check with your doctor about your specific situation, especially around medications and swallowing safety. 🌐 Learn more: thestrokecomeback.com I'm Dr. Jörgen, a clinical physiologist and PT with 30 years of experience working with stroke survivors.
