Suggest Treatment For Chronic Constipation

My daughter has spinia bifida and is constipated all the time. We ve tryed many different types of laxatives,magic bullet,miralax. But it still gets bad. And A physical therapist mentioned to me one time about taping I can t remember the name of the tape it s the one athletes use. Anyways I guess it could help promote like movement of the bowels to help with achieving a bm. Was wondering if this is some thing safe I can do at home or can I end up hurting her? Thanks
