A therapeutic massage not only feels good but has immense therapeutic value for the body. It soothes aching muscles, relaxes the body, lowers heart rate and blood pressure, improves breathing and circulation, aids digestion, and releases stress and depression. The link among abdominal massage and improved digestion and metabolism is an established but an underrated one, as a stomach massage may also make a patient self-conscious. Also, it is likely that a patient suffering from gastrointestinal issues tend to place more faith in medicines and aggressive form of therapies rather than a therapy as gentle and holistic as abdominal massage.
A high-end 3D massage chair of a reputable brand practically delivers the same benefits that massage therapy from a professional massage therapist or masseuse provides. Patients suffering from persistent health issues can use massage chairs to find significant relief from gastric, ulcerative and digestive issues. The effects of massage on the digestive system are immediate and proactive. Here is how:
Stomach Massage – Improvement of Appetite
The effects of massage on the lymphatic system are positive. Abdominal massage naturally accelerates blood and lymph flow in the digestive track. It leads to better and increased absorption of the nutrients in the blood stream. Thus, abdominal massage improves appetite and overall health and vigor.
Stomach massage promotes positive intestinal activity and assists in the movement of food in the digestive track. This means that a massage reduces the time food spends in the stomach, breaks down fatty deposits and stimulates the reflexes that carry food from the small intestine to the colon. It also promotes blood and body-fluid movement in the bowels. Thus, it relieves bloating, gas, constipation and eliminates toxins and wastage. Since blockages in the colon are cleared through massage therapy, it also leads to regularity of bowel movement.
Increasing Digestion and lowering Tension
Abdominal massage promotes intestinal and granular activity and contributes to better circulation of blood and fluids in the stomach and intestines. These activities in turn improve the quality and quantity of digestive fluid and aid digestion.
The effects of massage on nervous system are immediate and most rewarding. Prolonged stress and tension cause functional and structural malfunctioning in various systems of the body, one of which is the digestive system. Prolonged stress causes stomach to become a center point for tension congestion, leading to great discomfort, pain and digestive issues. However, massaging of the abdomen area loosens the tension knots in the muscles and provides relief from stress.
3D Massage Chair – Relief from Ulcerative Colitis
Ulcerative colitis is a painful condition which is accompanied by swelling, ulceration, bloody diarrhea, lower abdominal pain and impaired functionality in colon (large intestine) and rectum. It is treated through the use of specific medication, making changes in diet and life style, and through seeking alternative therapies massage, yoga, acupuncture and naturopathy. However, ulcerative colitis massage should be avoided in cases when the condition is accompanied by fever or internal bleeding.
Therefore, abdominal massage is a great way to boost digestive and gastric health, and treat and prevent numerous gastrointestinal issues. A 3D zero gravity massage chair of good quality can replicate the same holistic care that a massage therapist, masseuse or physiotherapist provide in the comfort and privacy of your own home.
