Benefits of abdominal massage
So why have an abdominal massage? Massage supports the tissues of your intestines helping them to work as they should. Massaging your abdomen helps to move your digested food through your intestines (waste material can stay in the intestines for a long time). It helps to restore and promote normal bowel movements. Massage improves the circulation in the abdomen. It supports the nervous system, soothing an overactive system or stimulating a sluggish system. Therapeutic massage stimulates the lymphatic system, encouraging the removal of waste products. Basically the organs in your belly get a general workout which helps them to function much better. Result? You feel better as well!
