Abdominal Massage

Common Conditions Treated With Abdominal Massage

Abdominal massage is an effective therapy for a wide variety of health issues, including those that are physical or mental in nature. Many of our patients come in for issues related to fertility, digestion, acute or chronic pain, and anxiety.

We use abdominal therapy for a wide range of symptoms, including:

• Pain management
• Low back/sciatic/sacrum pain
• Fertility 
• Preparation for Labor and Delivery
• Menstrual and hormonal health
• Menstrual cycle pain or irregularity
• Sperm quality and quantity
• Women’s Health
• Energy, stamina, low energy, and fatigue
• Digestive conditions
• Stress and mental health
• Anxiety, depression, and emotional health
• Allergies, asthma, and other breathing problems

Abdominal Massage During Pregnancy

A patient and their unborn child’s safety is our priority. Abdominal Therapy can be utilized during the first trimester of pregnancy and when a mother is at full term awaiting the onset of labor. The techniques are significantly modified during pregnancy for the safety of mother and child.

Abdominal Massage for Digestion

Abdominal Therapy gently moves organs of the digestive system into optimal positioning. Proper position of digestive organs can address a number of digestive issues including bloating, constipation, diarrhea, slow transit digestion, symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome, borborygmus, abdominal pain, and a host of other digestive-related conditions.

Abdominal Massage for Fertility

All patients can benefit from optimal positioning of their reproductive system. Abdominal Therapy can gently reposition organs of the reproductive system for all genders. Ten ligaments hold the uterus in position, and gently massaging the abdomen can lift and guide the uterus into its optimal position. Abdominal Therapy can also address issues of congestion in the ovaries and uterine tubes.

Patients with prostates and testis can also benefit from the improved circulation provided by Abdominal Therapy leading to increased libido, better nerve function, reduction in erectile dysfunction, improved quality and higher count of sperm.

Abdominal Massage for Constipation

Since Abdominal Therapy gently moves the digestive organs into optimal positioning, it can improve absorption and peristalsis of the intestines. Improving peristalsis and addressing issues with absorption will naturally improve issues with constipation.

Abdominal Massage for Back Pain

Abdominal Therapy can relax the muscles, fascia, and ligaments within the pelvis, lower spine, and abdomen. Increasing relaxation and flexibility of these areas can have the added benefit of reducing back pain.

Abdominal Massage for Endometriosis

Excess estrogen can lead to endometriosis, fibroids, polyps, inflammation, and other pathologies. Abdominal Therapy can harmonize the reproductive system and improve hormonal function. This enhanced reproductive functioning reduces excess estrogen thereby improving symptoms related to endometriosis, fibroids, and other reproductive pathologies.

Abdominal Massage for Menstrual Cramps

Many individuals who menstruate may experience menstrual cramps or period pain. While some discomfort is natural, symptoms of menstruation should not be debilitating. Abdominal Therapy relaxes the muscles, ligaments, and fascia of the abdomen which can improve hormonal functioning. The relaxation of and optimal repositioning of the reproductive organs can have a positive impact on symptoms associated with menstruation including menstrual cramping or period pain.
