Abdominal Massage and Gut Health
Abdominal Massage and GUT Health
Did you know that a large proportion of the population have digestive problems? The cause of this is a combination of the Mother passing on a poor variety of bacteria to the foetus; antibiotic use in the first 3 years of life; not enough breast feeding or caesarean birth; lack of vitamin D, lack of fibre, stress and poor diet, in general. This results in poor nutrient absorption and a generally unhealthy population. We can see this with the epidemic of unhealthy people that we have in Australia-obesity, autoimmunity, behavioural problems, mental health, infertility, etc
If you suffer from any digestive issues, abdominal massage helps to get the blood supply and nerve supply working better. This improves constipation; improves inflammation in the abdomen, which reduces Irritable bowel; removes adhesions, which constrict the organs and bowel; and even improves mechanic infertility; as well as reducing stress and improving mental health, as we know that the gut is the second brain. Dr Tanya Kelly uses abdominal massage as part of her Chiropractic care and our Massage therapists can also do abdominal massage as part of their treatment.
