Hi! I'm Dr. Kiley Gibbs.

Welcome to the Abdominal Stimulation for Treatment of Constipation Course.


Here I will guide you on use of abdominal stimulation with neuromuscular electrical stimulation as treatment for constipation. This course will give an overview of the background and research, then will focus on application of neuromuscular electrical stimulation for the treatment of constipation with set up instructions, protocols, and case examples.  


This course was built on protocols that I use in my own practice and is rooted in research supporting principles of use of abdominal stimulation for treatment of constipation. This technique has had life changing results for the children that I treat.


I am so excited to share this with you and hear all about the results that you will see!


See you in the course!

-Dr. Kiley
