This vital section of the Chairstuff website explains what a bowel routine is and why you need one. Because your routine will depend on what kind of neurogenic bowel you have, they’ve provided videos about each type of bowel and how they function. Everyone’s routine is different, and there are products and information to help you establish yours.
