Full flush of the area is then done to remove of the built up garbage.

Treatment for constipation is deemed appropriate, tho less pressure may need to be used. Relaxation is meant to be promoted during this treatment. In prone, full back mx is done, with focus on low back, gluteals, sacrum and iliac crest.
In supine, head neck and shoulders are done to promote relaxation. Abdominal work should be done with hip and knees flexed. All techniques are done clockwise.
