Abdominal Massage

Just curious, has anyone in here ever had experience getting an abdominal/digestive massage?

I thought I had heard about it before, but didn’t realize it was actually a thing until today. Funny enough, it was because I came across my high school crush on Instagram today, and it turns out she works as a massage therapist and doula now, and abdominal massage therapy is among her services. ?

I have not for digestive purposes, but my massage therapist frequently gives attention to my abdomen to access my psoas, and other muscles that affect my hips and pelvic region. It has really helped with my athletic ability and flexibility. Any massage therapist should be able to address the area if you talk about it with them!

Haven’t had a specific abdominal massage but experienced it as part of lomi lomi. I’m usually a bit tickly on the sides of my stomach but I really enjoy it when she’s pushing quite hard. I’d definitely say it’s worth a try.

My massage therapist does this at every massage I go to.

You're lucky! In my experience, a lot of LMTs avoid the abdomen, just as they avoid massaging the inner thighs. I had always guessed they simply didn't want a male client to get turned on by strokes in close proximity to Ground Zero.

It's possible these particular LMTs would have massaged my abdomen if I'd asked, though. I never asked, because their avoiding the area had me guessing they weren't comfortable with that.
