Which Type of Massage Will Work Best?
Although any form of massage will help to support you during your weight loss campaign, there are some kinds of weight loss massages that deserve a special mention:
- Manual lymphatic drainage massage – this very gentle form of massage is particularly effective if you are experiencing severe fluid retention. The effects of manual lymphatic drainage can be quite profound – especially over the arms and legs.
- Massage over the abdominal area – if you know that you are prone to constipation or irregular bowel movements, then regular massage over the abdominal area can make a very big difference. Massaging your abdomen in a clockwise motion starting from just by your right hip (working in the direction of the flow of food through the colon). This can help to relieve constipation, improve abdominal muscle tone and could have you waving goodbye to any pot belly in a matter of weeks.
- Vigorous massage for cellulite prone areas – as a practicing massage therapist, this has always been one of my most popular treatments. Massage for a half hour treatment that focuses only on the legs, hips and thighs. If the treatment is very vigorous and includes lots of percussive movements, you can start to see a noticeable improvement within days.
• Helps with gym recovery so you can resume your workout regime
• Massaging the abs boosts your metabolic rate & makes your digestive system work smoother than before
• Stimulates endorphins – your “feel good” hormones which reduces depression
