Myofascial release therapy in IBS
The purpose of this study is to find out if myofascial release therapy (MFR), (a massage method that will be used in the belly area), will improve the symptoms in CHOP patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Participation will last approximately 8 months which includes in person visits and remote follow-up (surveys only). The MFR intervention is comprised of 6 once a week in-person visits that will be conducted by a licensed massage therapist. This therapist will train participants in order for them to self-administer MFR therapy at home, daily. Participants will be asked to record their IBS symptoms throughout their study participation.
