Full body massage would help with anxiety I guess. But I have found that gentle abdominal massage is good for cramp and reliving constipation and trapped wind. Don't do it if you have diarrhoea though as it encores things to move which is not what you need!

Your GP could try drugs like Spazmanol and Mebrivne.

I had deep tissue massage to relieve the extreme pain of chiropractory that I had tried fo relieve old injuries. Unfortunately, both triggered an immune reaction, particularly the massage, and I developed costochondritis and then IBS. To receive stomach pain I take Buscopan and Nurofen if the pain is bad. Sometimes Paracetemol is enough although it takes longer to work. To be honest, I am not convinced about these so called natural therapies such as acupuncture,massage, etc. If they can cause the reaction like the one I had, I don't think they work with the body at all. However, everyone is different.
