Colon Massage
Everyone should cleanse their colon on an annual basis to avoid re-absorbtion of the toxins. Traditionaly this has been done with colonic irrigation / hydrotherapy. The Detox Massage is a much more pleasant and even enjoyable way of achieving the same effect, and is a treatment that can be undertaken regularly.
Colon massage has helped many of my clients with IBS, bloating, weight loss and management.
This is achieved by stimulating the colon and awakening the muscles that control the peristalsis movement of the colon - the body's own natural way of moving waste through the colon.
Below is an outline of how a 30minute Detox Massage session may take place:
- The treatment starts with the client lying face down. Working through the towel a few minutes is spent introducing the massage to the body across the back, shoulders. These opening strokes help to and relax the client while allowing them to feel comfortable in the surroundings.
- Using appropriate draping with the towels so no parts of the body are exposed the client is invited to turn over and made comfortable, sometimes a small cushion is placed behind the head as this can feel more comfortable.
- The towels are arranged so that the stomach is uncovered - the chest area (for both male and female clients) remains covered by a seperate towel at all times, clients are often asked to hold this towel in place.
- The massage begins with a very gentle and light massage of the stomach in circular movements. This helps to spread some oil on the stomach, introduce the touch and relax the muscles.
- After a few minutes the same soft sweeping strokes become a little deeper, working into the abdonimal muscles more, stretching them slightly. All the time very slow without discomfort or pain.
- The movement then flows into a circular motion around the stomach, following the contours and flow of the colon. Still with slow flowing movements, a little deeper and more powerful.
- Changing position now and working deeper in a small area, the colon itself is massaged with gentle vibration movements. Throughout this hand signals are used for the client to indicate any discomfort. This process can last for a significant portion of the treatment.
This is one of the most powerful forms of massage available, the stomach is a very personal area and where a lot of emotion is carried. The treatment is always carried out with the utmost care, attention and respect.
In order for the best possible results from a Colon Massage it is recommended that a series of treatments be undertaken. Find out about our Detox Programmes.
