Increased bowel movements , one for each "brushing & compression" session.

(FL,USA)
We started "brushing and compression" sessions with our toddler. He had the worst week ever. My husband and I are exhausted. We did about 5 sessions a day. Avoided all areas except arms, hands, legs and feet with the brush. Then compressed 5 count on the shoulders, wrists, elbows, ankles and knees.
He tolerated it but he had a bowel movement after each session. This is not normal for him. We isolate at home and no one is sick, no new foods, no other potential causes identified. We stopped today after 4 full days of sessions and his BMs are back to normal. I cant prove its related but I highly suspect it is.
Any thoughts?
