Abdominal Towel Work Made Simple! | Massage Mondays | Sports Massage | Remedial Soft Tissue Therapy

Abdominal massage can feel a bit intimidating and for many of your clients, they will never have had this experience and do not know what to expect. Therefore it is important to ensure that their modesty is protected, you deliver a smooth, fluid approach to toweling and create an environment that is comfortable.
My top tips for providing a relaxing and enjoyable experience:
➡️ Less fuss the better, make it a non-event when arranging the towels
➡️ Refrain from tucking towels into the pelvis
➡️ Ensure they're comfortable, additional changes in positioning can include bending their knees or propping their upper body up
➡️ Remember not all techniques will be enjoyed i.e. shaking
➡️ Keep your head and eyes neutral, avoid looking down
➡️ Keep a constant connection, this encourages relaxation
➡️ Slower application of your techniques, can make a big difference between enjoyment and feeling tense
If you've never had an abdominal massage yourself, now is a good time to try it out - it will give you a greater understanding of your client's concerns.
