Abdominal massage: benefits, how to do it correctly, indications


Body modeling massage is aimed at restoring muscle tone, reducing subcutaneous fat and increasing the elasticity of the dermis. The procedure has a profound effect on soft tissues, effectively fights cellulite and corrects body contours, accelerates metabolism, normalizes lymph flow and blood circulation, rejuvenates and heals the entire body. Body correction by massage can be done manually or using hardware techniques. Positive results can be assessed after 2 – 3 visits to a cosmetologist-massage therapist. But in order to achieve the desired result, experts advise taking a full course, the duration of which is determined personally, taking into account individual characteristics.

Benefits of massage

For a good effect, experts recommend taking a course of massage, at least seven to ten sessions. Some types of massage can be performed independently at home. Any type of massage brings not only cosmetic, but also healing effects. The procedure has the following positive effects on the body:

  • Improves intestinal motility;
  • Activates blood circulation;
  • Promotes the breakdown of fat deposits;
  • Activates the work of internal organs;
  • Eliminates cellulite;
  • Relieves a number of symptoms of spinal diseases: pain, inflammation.

Efficiency of procedures

To get the most positive results from corrective massage, it is important to take a responsible approach to choosing a clinic and massage therapist. A true professional thoroughly knows the anatomy of the body, masters various techniques, and has a license confirming his qualifications.

Corrective massage allows you to:

  • get rid of cellulite and excess subcutaneous fat;
  • tighten the muscles of the abdomen, thighs, buttocks;
  • reduce the volume of problem areas;
  • eliminate swelling;
  • smooth the skin and restore its strength, firmness, elasticity;
  • accelerate the breakdown of adipose tissue.

Cupping massage

This is a type of vacuum massage, which is performed using medical silicone or glass jars. Oil is applied to the skin, then jars are placed. The massage is performed with sliding circular movements, trying to affect not only the skin, but also deep tissues.

Cupping massage helps to cope with cellulite and promotes the effective breakdown of fat deposits. During the procedure, blood circulation improves and metabolic processes are activated.

The benefits of massage will be noticeable after 4-5 procedures. But it is advisable to perform at least 10 sessions.

Correction of different areas of the body

Correction of specific areas of the body is aimed at solving localized problems. Among the fair sex, fat deposits most often accumulate on the stomach and thighs. Strict diets and exercise do not always help get rid of excess volume and cellulite. Corrective massage will help you solve your problems in the shortest possible time.

Regardless of what technique is prescribed by the specialist, the massage procedure traditionally includes the following movements:

  • Stroking. It is carried out at the beginning and end of manipulations. Gently stroking your palms will help relax the muscles and prepare the skin for more active treatment.
  • Deep kneading. Includes pinching, rolling, rubbing. Intense exposure activates blood flow and lymphatic drainage, breaks down subcutaneous fat deposits, smoothes orange peel, and stimulates tissue regeneration.
  • Toning. Rubbing the skin improves tone and strengthens muscles.

Hip correction

Typically, the procedure involves active exposure to the skin of the thighs and legs. Massage will help get rid of cellulite, tighten soft tissues on the inner thigh, and strengthen muscles. At the very beginning of the manipulation procedure, the procedures are aimed at rubbing and kneading problem areas. This will help restore microcirculation and prepare problem areas for more intense massage.

After rubbing and kneading, the cosmetologist-massage therapist uses techniques that break up fat deposits. The fold is grabbed horizontally and rolled from bottom to top. Then the same movements are repeated, but only in the vertical direction.

Then the specialist resorts to the pressing technique. To do this, all fingers are used. The massage therapist places his palms on the surface of the thigh and probes the problem area from bottom to top.

The session ends with lymphatic drainage. From bottom to top, the problem area is smoothed out by active movements of the second phalanges of the bent fingers.

Abdominal correction

Getting rid of fat deposits in the abdominal area is the most difficult, because this is where subcutaneous fat accumulates most intensively. Corrective massage will help reduce volume, smooth out the sides, and make the waist thinner.

The session begins with warm-up movements. The lower abdomen is massaged clockwise, then the specialist grabs the fold and rolls it. After this, the pinching technique is used. The folds of skin are grasped with the thumb and forefinger and probed deeply. Then the problem area is intensively rubbed with spiral movements in different directions.

At the next stage, vertical and transverse kneading is carried out. The master grabs the fat fold in the side area and rolls it towards the center of the abdomen. When kneading vertically, the fold is moved from bottom to top.

Honey massage

Massage with honey has a positive effect on metabolic processes, skin condition, and reduces the fat layer of tissues. You can perform it at home, as well as in the bathhouse.

To do this, apply natural honey to problem areas of the skin and rub it well into the skin. The smeared areas are patted until pellets of dirt and honey appear on the skin. The procedure lasts 15-20 minutes, after which the skin is washed with warm water.

For a good healing effect, experts recommend performing at least 10 such procedures.

Wearing shapewear as a method of body shaping

Wearing shapewear is the simplest and least effective way to shape your figure. The method is suitable for special occasions and evenings, but it is worth remembering that frequent use of shapewear can cause problems with blood circulation. In addition, it does not fight the problem, but only temporarily hides it.

Photos of figure correction methods

Photos of figure correction using lipofilling clearly demonstrate the advantages of this operation. You can see before and after photos in the “Photo Gallery” section on our website.

Anya's story

Meet me

Anya: 24 years old, height 175 cm, weight 71 kg. There were complaints about the strongly pronounced “breeches”, which, even with such a fairly tall stature, shortened the length of the legs. Anya formed such a figure at the age of 16, Anya did not make any attempts to change her, she believed that it was useless.

How the problem was solved

It took 6 hours on each side for the “breeches” area. Anya was very impressed that the results became visible after the second session. Seeing that her dream was finally coming true, Anya was so inspired that she began to take care of herself. Watch your diet, sign up for training at the gym.

We were glad that Anya received such a positive attitude from us. Although no additional effort is needed for the results of armoplasty, we welcome everything that helps the health and beautiful shape of the body.

Result

Weight 70 kg. The total weight remained practically the same, but the hip circumference in the photo decreased by 5 cm. The absence of riding breeches visually lengthened the legs. Anya was very pleased with the condition of her skin; after removing the volume, cellulite completely disappeared.

Side effects:

  • The first few days after the procedure it was painful to lie on that side. Tight jeans also caused pain. The symptoms lasted 4 days.
  • After the first session, the temperature rose to 38 degrees, accompanied by malaise, dizziness, and nausea. It all went away within a day.

How to use a vibrating massager for effective weight loss

A vibration massager, like a vibration simulator, can greatly facilitate the massage procedure. It is much more powerful than human hands and has greater intensity. That is why various devices are used when conducting a session in health or cosmetology centers. But there are devices for home use too.

Massagers, just like manual massage:

  • improve local blood circulation;
  • promote lymph outflow;
  • relieve swelling;
  • relax muscles.

Such devices can help relieve muscle tension and reduce pain after intense training.

Principle of operation

The operating principle of the device is based on the transmission of vibration waves. They have a mechanical effect on the surface layers of the skin, stimulating blood flow. Their action is in many ways reminiscent of classic types of massage. The only difference is the ease of execution. There is no need to strain your hands, stretching your body, the device will do everything.

Terms of use

In order for the device to have a positive effect, a number of rules must be followed:

  • Use only on dry skin, some time after a shower or bath.
  • There is no need to apply warming oil or cream to the skin before use. You can spread them on afterwards.
  • Gradually increase the intensity of vibrations and the duration of the procedure.
  • Do not scrub or peel the skin several hours before the session.
  • Observe the frequency of procedures, but do them every day.

The massager must be used strictly for its intended purpose. It is also important to monitor the serviceability of the device and its integrity.

Types of device

There are three main types:

  • Belt or vibrating platform. This type is often found in sports clubs and is used to relieve muscle tension. It is a wide moving belt, reminiscent of a conveyor.
  • The massage belt is most convenient for the abdomen, sides, and waist. Just put it on, secure it, and it will do the job itself.
  • Manual, suitable for working on individual areas.

Such devices are quite suitable for home use. But they can only be used with the permission of a specialist.

Diets and exercise


Diet, as an independent way to combat excess weight, can lead to the most unexpected consequences, especially if this diet was advised to you on one of the women’s forums, and not by a doctor who previously studied your tests and eating habits. The wrong combination of foods, depriving the body of essential nutrients and vitamins will gradually lead to the skin on the abdomen, chest and buttocks sagging and becoming flabby, hair and nails becoming brittle, and a constant feeling of chronic fatigue will haunt you from the very morning.

In order to avoid these unpleasant consequences, you need to carefully plan your diet, consulting with a nutritionist, and to make your skin look toned, be sure to visit the gym or pool. In other words, to achieve results you will have to combine body shaping methods such as proper nutrition and sports.

Feedback on the figure correction method

“This is not the first time I have taken a course of mesotherapy for weight loss at the Abrielle clinic. I really like the result! I tried many methods of getting rid of cellulite, but only mesotherapy was effective. After several procedures, the skin tightens and looks much better than before the start of the course. To consolidate the results, the cosmetologist recommends that I take the course once a year. The procedure, of course, is unpleasant, but what can’t you do for a beautiful and slender figure!” Alina, 32 years old. This and other reviews about figure correction methods.
