Massage for a healthy abdomen & pain reduction

Author // Administrator

 Psoas Release           For a Softer and lighter scar with fewer problems- touch                           your abdomen and move your tissue!

Massage
 The abdomen provides us with so many vital functions, the importance of maintaining a happy abdomen can not be over emphasized.  Generations of different modalities such as breathing, yoga, tai chi, and other ancient art forms have always stressed the importance of the abdomen.  
The photo on the left shows compression on the inside of each hip bone.
This move greatly reduces menstrual cramps, back pain and helps with intestinal function.  Our simple psoas move on the hip bone area shows how easily and effortlessly massage can benefit you by reducing pain and freeing your energy. You may not be able to penetrate the tissue so well, so consistent yet gentle work will yield results sooner than you think! 
 You may realize that one hip bone is higher than another, especially if you carry baby on one side more than another. This is normal but will create back pain over the long run. Stretching, chiropractic, yoga, and massage will help reduce pelvic imbalances.
The front hip bones lets you know what is happening in your lower back.
Talk to your Doctor, Chiropractor, Physical Therapist, or Massage Therapist for some help, when your hip bones are higher and lower than another. That is when your hands, as they lay on your ASIS, (anterior superior iliac spine), are  uneven with eachother.
  When you combine the complicating nature of scars, adhesions, weakness from the surgery,
and carrying a new baby, things can happen!  
Easy move to reduce cramps:
Gently lay hands on hip bones, slide them onto belly and gently compress abdomen Breath into feelings and tissue, and patiently wait until the tissue softens and your hands sink deeper into the abdomen. Please do one side at a time, starting with the least sensitive side, and breath into the difference as you listen with your hands.
 
Please stay close to the inside hip bone for the best menstrual cramp reducer you will ever find. This move will also allow you to feel how far out to the side your abdomen was affected by the surgery.
 
Gentle pressure is all that is needed to create a change.  Move slowly over time until you can go deeper and have longer lasting results!
