First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at whether one session of abdominal massage can improve blood vessel stiffness, muscle oxygen levels, and exercise ability in adults with chronic constipation. About 30 people took part, with some getting a real massage and others resting instead. Researchers measured changes right before and after the session to see if massage made a difference.
