Try to learn some simple techniques of self-massage the abdomen. The results, according to experts, very good. Tells Methodist Clinic All-Union Research Institute of Inorganic Materials, massage therapist, manual therapist Aleksey Zverev. - Getting to self-massage, it is enough to learn quite affordable, simple massage techniques and rules: l Ideal to do self-massage in the morning without getting out of bed, or the evening before falling asleep. l The position of the body in self-massage - lying on his back, legs bent at the knees, feet firmly standing on the bed. l To perform self-massage will need 15 minutes to an hour. l Hands should be warm. l For the massage you need to know 5 position hand (see pictures below). Complex massage techniques 1. Calm and relaxed focus on the respiratory cycle. Deep slow breaths - the belly is slightly raised, after it lifted the chest. Then the abdomen and thorax are omitted. This exercise - a kind of self-tuning for a massage, "inclusion" of the respiratory system to perform the massage. Repeat at least three times. Just two massage relaxed breathing reflex will remain throughout the procedure. 2. Preparation of the internal organs to the action. Warm hands on my stomach and put in a clockwise direction slowly and gently, in circles, "pat" in the stomach: from the bottom of the right hip up - to the right upper quadrant, and then - above the zone of the solar plexus and then along the left hypochondrium down the palm to the left thigh and lower abdomen through the "list" hands on right thigh. Thus, the circle. This stroke has three objectives: calms the internal organs, nervous system and relaxes the skin. You can vary this technique, working on his stomach with his hands "with the weights (Fig. 1), ie, putting one hand to another. Run 10 circular strokes. 3. Slightly bend your wrists and give them the kind of child sovochka to play in the sandbox (Figure 2). Bent fingers, that is the edge "sovochka" action upon the area of ??the stomach and spleen. To do this left "sovochkom click around the top of the left costal arch and soak pressure 2-4 seconds. Then pass such pushes around the left upper quadrant - need three or four push. If you are not experiencing any pain, then activate the therapy, performing the same technique "sovochkami with the weights - two sovochka become one, a thicker (Fig. 3). Second hand increased burden the first - treatment becomes more intense. If and burdening any pain there, it means that you have no gross abnormalities in the stomach and spleen. 4. Massage of the liver and gallbladder. Techniques of the previous exercise, that is, brush pressure, "sovochkami and their fixation, soft and calm promassiruyte right upper quadrant from the center of his chest down to the end of the hypochondrium. In the absence of pain pressures as "a burden". 5. Work on the large intestine. Right-hand "sovochkom" slowly and gently Impact descending colon: from the center of the left hypochondrium to the left inguinal fold. Should use the "break" movement: push your fingers - fixing pressure - a slight displacement sovochka "toward the center of the abdomen. If the pain does not occur, then connect the other arm. But in this admission "sovochki did not overlap, and the fingers are connected with the back of a form of" bucket-shovel (Figure 4). Reaching the suprapubic area, the fingers are connected in a "big scoop" (Fig. 5). Promassirovav downhill to the right inguinal fold, the functions are changing hands: the left is leading, and right - it helps. Thus, we describe a full circle in a clockwise direction - so goes the natural movement of the digestive system - a system that we set up a data device. By the way, if you have an upset stomach, take a horizontal position and do this massage technique counterclockwise. 6. Repeat the stroking - to receive # 2. 7. Now promassiruem kidney. They are located on both sides of the navel and represent two large bean, each the size of a fist child. Fingers in the form of "bucket-shovel (Figure 4) immerse in the stomach at a distance of 2-3 cm from the navel, gently remove them and povibriruyte by relaxing the kidney and taking off her spasm. Three pushes of the "runs" the whole kidney. Vibration is needed because our bodies - no stationary system, and mikromayatniki. Vibrating movements we make the system back to its source, that is, to the vibrationally relaxed state. Massage begins with the left kidney. Some people have kidney slightly lowered. Self-massage experience to rapidly increase the sensitivity of your fingers, and you learn to feel the contours of the kidneys - in a relaxed state, they are well palpated. 8. The latter technique will help guide the movement of all bodies to the center of the abdomen. Massage techniques described circle: from the center of the sternum, through the left hypochondrium arc down, then - through the pubic area - up the right hypochondrium arc. Fingers in the form of a large bucket (Fig. 5) to push and easy to shift to the center. At the end of the massage again stroking, similar techniques 2 and 6. Self-massage for women - a great help in solving four problems: 1. Harmonization of the internal organs, including the effective splitting and absorption of food. 2. Facilitating the passage of monthly - massage is done for 2-3 days before the critical days. 3. Regulation of internal emotional background. 4. Restoration of sensitivity of the skin. And finally - how often you need to do self-massage? It depends on the goal. If the massage is therapeutic in nature, it is the course: every day for 7-10 days, then - a break for a month.
