[An exercise program for women suffering from constipation].
An activity programme facing the psychological and psychosomatic aspects of constipation has been developed and put into practice. The experience of exceeding the limits in respect of common orientation and the way of life they are used was an essential part of this programme as the reflection of the "female" way of behaving and moving was relevant. The evaluation showed: the self-concept "living without symptoms" and the potential effect experienced by the participants of the course were so similar, that we can expect, step by step, a lasting change concerning their well-being and way of life and thereby a reduction of symptoms due to the outlined programme.
