Rhythmical Massage Therapy for Gas and Bloating

Elements of treatment

• To support the interaction of the formative forces acting in the patient’s air organism with the fluid organism of their intestine, which should be in constant motion:
  Treat with a connecting figure-eight pattern between the chest and the hips
  Hip treatment that includes the lower back
  Abdominal treatment
  with warmly breathing, rhythmically shaping circles in the entire abdominal region.
  
  
• To harmonize respiratory activity in the metabolism:
  Rhythmical embrocation of the kidneys is the primary treatment.
  Sometimes this application alone can eliminate the symptom complex of “bloated belly”.
  Also helpful are qualities of touch and motion in the diaphragm area that support breathing, and long strokes of the sympathetic nervous system. 
  
  
• To calm the tense sensory organization in the digestive tract
  and relieve painful tension of the over-inflated intestine, which may also shift into a cramping of the abdominal muscles, soothe with:
  calm, warming, circular movements when rhythmically massaging around the navel.
  Gently efferent qualities of touch on the thighs and lower back are also helpful.
