Abdominal Massage

Service Description

This work is always done externally through the belly wall with gentle but firm lifting and gliding strokes. For women, this work is best known for the correction of the prolapsed, fallen, or tilted uterus and bladder. This condition will sometimes express as various symptoms including painful ovulation and menses, irregular menstrual patterns, infertility, ovarian cysts and polyps, endometriosis and uterine fibroids. Often times our reproductive organs can shift due to weakness in the uterine ligaments and muscles, whether that be from trauma, stress, childbirth or pregnancy. By shifting the uterus back into place, homeostasis – the natural balance of the body is restored in the pelvic region and surrounding organs. Toxins are flushed away and nutrients that help to tone tissue and balance hormones are restored to normal order. This is essential for a healthy menstrual cycle, pregnancy, labor, and delivery. Old adhesions from traumatic pelvic and abdominal conditions, including surgery, chronic inflammation, uterine fibroids, endometriosis, and cesarean delivery are softened when addressed with this work. In addition, digestive and urinary and system problems can also be helped with this work. What to expect during the visit: You will relax on your back with the support of a pillow under your head and legs. We may perform cupping in some instances, but in general anticipate some form of circular abdominal massage, uterine unwinding, womb meditation, myofascial release and muscle energy stretching of the front and back body. Note: If you are using an IUD, you should not schedule this type of treatment.
