Chronic constipation is characterized by a slowing of bowel movements, often linked to diet, stress, an imbalance in the gut microbiome, or digestive disorders, which can affect daily well-being. At the Clinique Naturelle in Geneva, our therapists offer a personalized treatment plan that combines several complementary approaches to stimulate bowel movements, restore balance to the body, and help you regain long-lasting digestive comfort.
What does an interdisciplinary program at Clinique Naturelle entail?
We have developed interdisciplinary treatment programs designed to address specific chronic conditions, such as constipation or lower back pain. These programs are designed to provide you with structured support to achieve lasting improvement by addressing the root causes. The process begins with a questionnaire and an initial assessment to fully understand your condition and needs. Based on this, a personalized treatment plan is proposed, involving several appointments over a period of 6 to 12 weeks with complementary specialists who coordinate their efforts to ensure optimal care. A final assessment concludes the process to evaluate progress and ensure long-term results.
La Clinique Naturelle's Interdisciplinary Program for Chronic Constipation
At La Clinique Naturelle, we offer interdisciplinary programs focused on chronic constipation, designed to improve bowel function in the long term.
Unlike one-off approaches, our method aims to address the underlying causes of constipation through a combination of complementary therapies that work in synergy.
The goal: to restore regular, comfortable, and independent bowel movements, without relying on temporary solutions.
Each program is based on a structured treatment plan that combines 3 to 4 complementary therapies over a set period of time.
What is constipation?
Constipation is characterized by a slowed bowel movement - less than 3 bowel movements per week (according to the WHO), which can be hard and painful to evacuate.
Constipation can be temporary and linked to our lifestyle, or chronic when it sets in over time (more than 6 months).
Temporary constipation
It can be due to our diet (low in fiber), insufficient hydration, stress, pregnancy, disrupted habits, lack of exercise...
Chronic constipation
It has persisted for several months, and identifying the cause is crucial in this case for determining a course of treatment.
Chronic constipation is often linked to several factors:
- power supply
- stress and the nervous system
- imbalance in the gut microbiota
- slowing of transit
- gastrointestinal disorders
Effective treatment therefore requires a comprehensive approach to bowel function.

- If constipation is accompanied by slow digestion, abdominal tension, or discomfort: Chi Nei Tsang, abdominal massage, and therapeutic nutrition can help improve bowel movements and digestion.
- When constipation has been present for a long time or is linked to an overall imbalance: colon hydrotherapy, herbal medicine, and acupuncture work deeply to restore balance to the digestive system.
