Abdominal Sacral Massage
"A gift for the belly
and a joy to the guts"
Susan
De Muynck (I.T.E.C & AS Massage Certificate)
I have been offering
this massage for a few years now and find that it offers
something that very little massage practitioners tackle
and that is the "belly". It is a massage that
works deep on the "2nd Brain" and is a very powerful
massage technique so come along and experience it for yourself.
What
is deep abdominal massage?
This deep abdominal
massage, also known as colon massage or internal organ massage,
is a fantastic treatment that focuses on the metabolic and
energetic functions of the abdomen to release trapped gases,
blockages and waste products. It works deep on the ‘second
brain’ and is a very powerful massage technique that
has a range of benefits.

What
happens during deep abdominal massage?
During your massage,
you will first be asked a few questions to ensure that deep
abdominal massage is right for you. After this, your therapist
will use a range of massage and holding techniques to work
the different abdominal fascia and connective tissues. You
will also receive specialised sacral massage to gently work
the tissues behind the abdominal organs and open up the
sacrum.
What
do I need to do before my deep abdominal massage?
Do not have a
heavy meal within about an hour before your massage, and
as with all massage do not drink alcohol beforehand.
What
do I need to do after my deep abdominal massage?
Drink plenty
of water and avoid alcohol and heavy food for 24 hours.
As with all therapies involving massage, you may experience
slight tiredness or mild flu-like symptoms for up to 24
hours afterwards due to the toxin release from your body.
When
can't I have a deep abdominal massage?
You will need
to tell your therapist if you suffer from any of the following:
- Cancer, heart
disorders, diabetes, epilepsy, DVT or at risk of or have
had an embolism.
- Acute ("flare
up") stages of illness e.g. diverticulitis.
- Skin disorders
e.g. phlebitis, ulceration or open wounds in the area
to be treated.
- Infectious
illnesses such as cold, flu or chest infection.

Background
Info
"And here’s
something that is going to blow your mind (either one) …
just like your skull brain, your gut brain is able to learn,
remember and produce emotion-based feelings.
In fact, some
of you may be having light-bulb moments, realizing that
plenty-O-emotion comes from your guts, and thus the express
gut-level feeling.
Further, we already
know that it takes 20 minutes for the brain and stomach
to come to an agreement that you are full when eating. Thus,
Our Lady of Weight Loss’s 20 minute rule (eat and
wait 20 minutes to see if you really, really want more).
Should you stomach
feel fluttery butterflies, you skull brain chimes right
in with its version of fluttery.
One might easily
come to the conclusion that your two brains are in direct
communications with each other and have a mighty powerful
influence over each other.
Because of this
direct brain-gut connection, the state of your gut has a
profound influence on your psychological well-being.
The Science
of It
While you were
busy developing in the womb, both your gut (which, by the
way, includes your colon, small intestine, stomach and esophagus)
and your skull brain developed from the same clump of embryonic
tissue. At some point (clearly! huh!!) they divided. One
part grew into your central nervous system (brain and cranial
nerves); and the other into your enteric nervous system
(gut brain).
Later on, the
two brains became connected through your super inner-highway;
the vagus nerve.
Actually, the
total of nerve cells in your gut is greater than the total
nerves connecting the rest your body to your brain. This
complex circuitry allows your “gut brain” to
act totally independent of the brain in your skull.
There’s
more to it, of course, and lots of big, fat books written
on the subject. But for now, I thought that this topic in
particular, was great Food for Thought!"
