Deep abdominal and colon massage is a traditional treatment that focuses on all the metabolic and energetic functions of the abdomen. Releasing trapped gases, blockages and waste products, it is a fantastic system of treatment for many stress related, bowel, lower back and emotional problems.

Using palpation, you will learn how to assess different states of abdominal tension for organ imbalances. Then, using specific massage and holding techniques, you will be able to unwind fascial and connective tissue tensions to remove stress from the area, increasing the flow of body fluid and blood, balancing pressure in the digestive tract and increasing the absorption of nutrients.

During this highly practical two day course, the following will be covered:

• Traditional Chinese Medicine principles
• Specific client history taking for abdominal conditions and treatment safety
• The relationship between the different abdominal organs
• Our emotional relationship with our internal organs
• The abdomen and its related back problems
• Myofascial techniques for releasing deep muscle tension 
• Common abdominal disorders such as bloating, Candida, weight gain, constipation, fatigue and sadly many more
• Referral protocols to other professionals when necessary

After the course, students will be able to offer Deep Abdominal and Colon Massage to clients for relaxation, detoxification and a number of physical and psychological problems. Treatment time is usually between 30-45 minutes, but this can be varied if combined with other therapies such as Holistic Massage or Reflexology.
