While numerous publications explore the impact of physical therapy on anorectal disorders such as fecal incontinence, defecation disorders, or proctalgia, there is increasing evidence supporting the therapeutic options of physical therapy for other digestive disorders, including dyspepsia, gastroparesis, chronic vomiting, or cholelithiasis, among others. This book presents updated evidence of physical therapy as a therapeutic option for various gastrointestinal disorders beyond anorectal disturbances.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eEach of the 15 chapters included in this volume focuses on a specific disorder, providing a clear description of the therapeutic techniques employed as well as the results reported in the literature.
