An effective maneuver for when you have an extreme amount of intestinal gas causing pain or pressure. Usually this occurs after a first date, or an important event where you cannot be flatulent for an extended period of time.

To perform the maneuver, simply undress your lower half, sit on a toilet, and begin to slowly rock your body from side to side, bending over as far as you can, and holding for a moment at each side. Since your intestines are somewhat of a winding, circular structural path, this effectively helps the gas bubbles find their way out. Similar to the concept of how the Epley Maneuver treats Vertigo in the inner ear.
