About Bowel and Bladder Function

The bowel and bladder are two organs that we control consciously.

When any form of difficulty arises, be it mental or physical, it is easy to detach from these organs and lose control without any effort.

We do not think of exercising the bowel and bladder as we did before, so the bladder and bowel become lazier.

The bowel and bladder are not damaged - we have simply forgotten how to control them. Where we have lost control we can re-train how to control.

Owing to the belief that bowel and bladder control is an everlasting influence that affects the long-term, we become more detached mentally and the bladder and bowel behave and react in a less disciplined manner.

With the reintroduction of discipline and a total commitment to overcome the problem, bowel and bladder function can be restored to normal.

The loss of bowel and bladder control remains consistent with every individual who has suffered a spinal cord injury, regardless of the injury level. All other organs remain intact and continue to function, yet the suggestion that we will lose control of these organs makes us accept that is what will happen. 

The bowel and bladder can return to normal by applying mind instructions and mental-physical rehabilitation. The abdominal movements become activated naturally, provoking and influencing the tension that flows between the upper and lower body. 

This in itself creates activity, bringing about the tension required, which can be controlled.
