Hi johnt, here's some youtube videos that show yoga, massage, etc. to help prevent/relieve constipation. I tried doing the exercises that I could along with simultaneously taking a laxative so can't say for sure the exercises did the job or the laxative but I did have a BM an hour or 2 after doing the exercises. Good luck. Of course do this stuff at your own risk and don't overdo the massages.
I assume amazon has books on constipation which recommend specific stretching/massages.
Fwiw, I think just laying on my back and just pulling my legs back and every which way helped the most. There are a zillion videos
