Relieve Bloating and Pain: The Benefits of Self-Massage for Abdominal Comfort

February 6, 2024

Why not take advantage of self-massage before going to bed and after waking up to relieve bloating and pain and achieve comfort?

The focus of self-massage is on the abdomen. The organs in the abdomen perform their respective functions under the protection of tissues such as nets and mesentery. Due to factors such as bad habits, the abdomen is inevitably prone to bloating and pain, which can become chronic if left untreated. Bloating is a manifestation of poor organ functioning, and pain is the prominent symptom of acute abdominal conditions as well as the main reflection of chronic abdominal conditions.

During abdominal massage, focus on rubbing and relieving the bloating and pain within the range that can be reached by the fingers. The length of the nails should be moderate, as long nails can cause pain to the skin and short nails can cause discomfort to the fingers.

During the massage, bend your legs to relax the abdomen. Five centimeters above the navel, the practitioner should imagine a red line parallel to the shoulders. Above the red line lies the delicate pancreas, so be gentle with it.

For men, below the red line, you can only feel the large and small intestines and the bladder. The bladder generally does not require massage, and it is difficult to reach the prostate and seminal vesicles at its base. The focus is on the large and small intestines.
