Swedish massageused to include attention to the abdomen. But most massage therapists devote their time to treating the back, neck & shoulders at the client's request. Clients may feel uncomfortable with the idea of abdominal massage but here are some of the potential benefits: reduce muscle tension, improve local circulation, soothe indigestion, stimulate secretion of stomach acid, increase appetite, stimulate peristalsis & relieve constipation. Deep muscular tension or pain, adhesions, trigger points &/or dysfunctional breathing may all reside in the abdomen. Including abdominal massage in your next session can contribute to relieving some of these issues as well as giving you the chance to experience your body as a whole.
Another way to soothe, comfort & enhance the function of the abdominal structures is by use of castor oil packs. Castor oil soaked flannel covered with a plastic barrier then heated with a hot water bottle or heating pad set on low can be left on the abdomen after your "belly massage" while you receive massage to legs & arms.
