Abdominal Massage
Abdominal massage is rooted in ancient Chinese medicine. It has been used for thousands of years to detoxify and strengthen the body and improve digestive health. My abdominal massage uses a range of gentle massage techniques and incorporates acupressure points to work the energy of internal organs to improve physical and emotional health.
Abdominal massage is often overlooked as a form of massage, but done regularly it can help regulate many bodily functions for overall health and vitality. It’s main benefits include:
- Improves digestive health
Abdominal massage encourages muscles to relax which then stimulates digestion. This makes this massage very effective in relieving many stomach complaints such as constipation, diarrhoea, bloating, IBS and abdominal pain.
- Boosts the immune system
Around 70% of your immune system is located in your gut so it’s not surprising a lot of our health and wellbeing starts with our gut. Through massage, the lymphatic system is stimulated which helps to detoxify the body and boost its natural defences. With everything running smoothly and better immunity the body is more able to fight viruses and diseases.
- Eases tension and knots from emotional stress
Have you heard the term ‘worried sick’? Have you experienced knots in your stomach because of stress or anxiety? That is because emotional stress has massive impact on your gut. It can lead to poor digestion, bloating, wind, and stomach cramps. A soothing abdominal massage helps release tension and knots whilst inducing a sense of calm for overall relaxation of the mind and body.
- Eases PMS symptoms
Painful periods and PMS can go hand in hand with digestive issues. Massaging helps to relax stomach and pelvic floor muscles, reduces painful muscle spasms and improves the circulation of blood and Qi to benefit the menstruation cycle in general.
