Dr. Neil Baman answered

Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

Muscle tone: This form of massage is beneficial in constipation. It stimulates the peristalsis of the small intestines, tones up the muscles of the abdomen walls and mechanically eliminates the contents of both large and small intestines.
