Specialists in the treatment of Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Canvey Hypnotherapy Specialise in the treatment of I.B.S (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)

What is an Irritable Bowel? Medically, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is known by a variety of other terms: spastic colon, spastic colitis, mucous colitis and nervous or functional bowel. Usually, it is a disorder of the large intestine (colon), although other parts of the intestinal tract -- even up to the stomach -- can be affected.
The therapy offered is gut directed and gut specific. The program for I.B.S therapy consists of between 5-7 personal sessions including a initial consultation the program runs for 14 weeks and includes self hypnosis CDs which have been built into the program. In the UK, irritable bowel syndrome information and research show that Clinical Hypnotherapy has been used successfully for IBS treatment and its improvement for many years. Through the IBS treatment method it has been further clinically trialed, researched and developed and made available to IBS sufferers not only in the UK, but worldwide. It has since been used in over 30 countries.
Developed by UK Clinical Hypnotherapist, Michael Mahoney, using a ‘gut-specific’ technique called OPSIM™ (On-going Progressive Session Induction Method™), the IBS Program is safe, has no side effects, and can be used alone, or in conjunction with conventional IBS treatment methods such as medication. And while IBS medications such as antispasmodics, etc. may be taken while doing the program, most program listeners have found such relief that the need for medications in most cases have been greatly reduced or even eliminated altogether. Further, it may be noted, that the initial successful clinical trials were completed with those patients diagnosed as having refractory IBS, that is, IBS cases so severe, that all other IBS therapy and medical interventions had failed.

"used successfully with thousands of IBS patients worldwide...."
This IBS treatment method has been used successfully with thousands of IBS patients worldwide, who have been able to not only reduce their irritable bowel syndrome symptoms, but through this IBS therapy, patients were also able to break the mind-gut connection of anxiety and worry about bowel “accidents” and embarrassment.

Who Should Avoid This Therapy?
Hypnosis is considered safe no matter what your IBS symptoms but, please have your symptoms diagnosed by a medical practitioner or doctor. It is important to remember that you cannot self diagnose IBS and there are many serious conditions that mimic IBS. If you have any other conditions or medical history please discuss with your medical doctor.before visiting a hypnotherapist

"Doctors urged to use hypnotherapy to ease IBS symptoms"...Daily Mail

Hypnotherapy could be the latest weapon in the fight against irritable bowel syndrome, providing benefits that last up to five years.

Conventional treatment – including antidepressant and painkilling drugs – is ineffective, according to a report which says doctors should consider offering psychological therapies. The report says the condition may have a partial "psychological basis".

Up to one in six Britons is affected by IBS, of whom three out of four are women. Symptoms include flatulence, diarrhoea, constipation and a bloated, painful abdomen. Small trials have found hypnotherapy was successful as a means of managing symptoms, says a report published today in the British Medical Journal.

It found patients with IBS are more likely to suffer from depression and "abnormal" behaviour patterns including anxiety. They also display somatisation – the conversion of emotional, mental, or psychosocial problems into physical complaints.

"This has led to the idea that IBS has a psychological as well as a biological basis and a growing body of evidence supports the use of antidepressants for IBS," says the report. However, some doctors are reluctant to prescribe drugs for patients not suffering from depression and this has led to experiments with psychological treatments.
