Deep Colon Massage
Colon massage is a non-intrusive massage technique that aims to improve the movement of faecal matter through the large intestine. A healthy digestive system will remove toxins and waste products from the body efficiently while allowing the body to absorb the vitamins and minerals that it requires. However, busy and stressful modern day life means that this system tends to get ignored, and can slow down and become less effective. This will lead to the build-up of faecal matter and toxins in the body leading to poor digestion.
Slow, sluggish digestion can be caused by stress, fatigue, hectic lifestyle, poor posture and poor diet. This can encourage discomfort and pain, constipation, irritability, a lack of energy and poor skin condition due to a build-up of toxins. Massage can work to help alleviate these symptoms and improve colonic functioning.
Colon massage gently encourages the large intestine to increase peristalsis (the natural wave-like movement of the intestinal wall), moving faecal matter towards the rectum. A typical treatment will last approximately 50-60 minutes, and will involve a variety of shallow and deep techniques in the abdominal area. An initial consultation with the client will identify the client?s needs and any contra-indications.
