Course content: Focusing on the abdominal organs and tissues this is a deeply relaxing and restoring treatment that can be useful at any time in our life. It is beneficial not only for improving digestion and detoxification of the abdominal organs but also for fertility, menstrual issues, the menopause, and supporting the structural integrity of the lower back and pelvis.
Abdominal Massage can be done either through the clothing, or directly on the abdomen, using oils or hot compress. We include study of the digestion, the enteric nervous system, and how our organs respond to emotions and stress (the intelligence of the belly), which is important for holistic wellbeing and for abdominal health.
You will learn self care techniques for you, as well as how to teach your clients to care for themselves, drawing both from latest clinical research and from principles that reach back to ancient Taoist traditions. Abdominal Massage can be done either through the clothing, or directly on the belly, using oils or hot compress.
Suitable for all levels of experience from beginner to professional massage therapist and also of interests to those working in pregnancy and birth.
