Why You Need an Abdominal Massage?
Abdominal massage is crucial for releasing deep tension and reinvigorating blood flow to muscles and organs, benefitting adults, children, and infants alike. Ever experienced a “knot in your stomach”? Stress often accumulates in the abdominal region, causing chronic tensing of muscles. This tension impairs blood flow and lymphatic drainage, hindering deep breathing and the normal motion of internal organs. When the abdomino-pelvic region is misaligned, it disrupts the normal flow of blood, lymph, and nerve connections, affecting organs like the uterus, ovaries, bladder, and bowel.

The 7 Muscles Causing AB Pain and Their Trigger Points:
Iliocostalis Thoracis - Located along the spine, trigger points in this muscle can cause referred pain to the upper abdomen or flank area, presenting as a dull ache or soreness.
Multifidi - Deep muscles along the spine; trigger points here may refer pain to the lower abdomen or back, resulting in aching or stiffness.
Rectus Abdominis - Known as the 'six-pack' muscle, trigger points might cause pain in the mid to lower abdomen, manifesting as a sharp or stabbing sensation.
Abdominal Obliques - Situated in the sides of the abdomen, trigger points can refer pain to the flank or groin, leading to aching or soreness.
Pyramidalis - Located in the lower abdomen, trigger points may cause localized pain or discomfort in the pubic area.
Quadratus Lumborum - Found in the lower back, trigger points can refer pain to the upper or mid abdomen, resulting in a deep, aching sensation.
Obliquus Externus Abdominis - Trigger points in this muscle might cause referred pain to the sides or front of the abdomen, presenting as a dull ache or soreness.
Understanding these trigger points and their associated referred pain is crucial for effective treatment. Having a skilled massage therapist knowledgeable in referral pain is essential to accurately identify and address the source of your discomfort, even if the pain seems unrelated to the actual area of concern.
