Materials presented in this video can directly improve your ability to help clients who suffers from diseases indigenes to abdominal cavity such as Chron's disease, gastric ulcers, gastro intestinal track diseases, colitis, constipation, irregularity and insufficiency of bowel movement, diverticulitis, acid reflux diseases, Irritable bowel syndrome and more.
In the video Boris explains the difference between a normal physiological process within the abdominal cavity to a process affected by venous stasis, which is the cause of disorders in the abdominal cavity. Boris further explains how stress causes venous stasis and which problems it gives to organs and systems.
Finally Boris explains why medical massage is the best methodology in fighting diseases in the abdominal cavity and how it helps to eliminate these problems; direct elimination of venous blood stasis and reduction of lymphedema, which is the main condition to start the healing process. Boris explains why abdominal/visceral massage is the only method that directly and in short period of time, allows one to achieve desired results.
After this brief theoretical introduction, Boris proceeds with his protocol of abdominal/visceral massage that positively affects the internal organs. Among others, these techniques include petrissage, superficial fascia release, deep fascia release techniques, and skin mobilization.
Boris's hands-on demonstration is very detailed, easy to follow and learn. Medical massage is not a remedy for all diseases but it is a powerful methodology that must be incorporated in the treatments of many diseases, and especially when treating diseases within the abdominal cavity.
More extensively the information about abdominal/visceral massage is covered in the medical massage textbook By Ross Turchaninov MD. To learn more please visit www.aesculapbooks.com
Between 30 to 35% of the left atria output is providing blood supply to the abdominal cavity.
The same amount of venous blood has to be drained.
Stress negatively affects the functions of all of the body's organs and systems, including but not limited to natural venous blood drainage in the abdominal cavity. In case drainage is disturbed, much of the venous blood is accumulated. This abnormal state is called STASIS of the venous blood.
Stasis automatically disturbs the arterial blood supply. Once this blood supply is compromised,
a negative snowball effect occurs, including inflammations within the abdominal cavity and various functional abnormalities such as diverticulitis, irritable bowel syndrome, constipation, infertility, PMS, prostatitis or pre-existing pathological conditions may worsen.
In addition, venous stasis causes acid reflux disease. The lower esophageal sphincter is a valve that separates the stomach. Under normal circumstances it closes once food passes through this valve. However, due to venous stasis, lymphedemas, etc., this valve does not close entirely or opens up frequently. Therefore stomach acids move to and through the sphincter.
Besides disturbing the metabolic process within the abdominal cavity, venous blood stasis also fails to prevent bacterial infections from accumulating in the abdominal cavity.
For example, secondary to gastritis, venous stasis often leads to the development of bacterial infections and causes stomach ulcers. In some cases this chronic inflammatory condition can also trigger cancer development within the abdominal cavity.
Note: A non-septic inflammation is the body's attempt to overcome an insufficiency of the arterial blood supply. In this case the body reacts by producing acute inflammation. If the compromised amount of blood supply will be not restored, this inflammation gradually becomes chronic.
As a part of chronic inflammation, adhesions will often develop and the organs' dysfunction will worsen.
Abdominal/visceral massage is the most powerful methodology in addressing venous blood stasis, reducing lymphedema, which promotes arterial blood supply.
This is a direct therapeutic technique to eliminate the inflammatory diseases described above. This includes the restoration of lower esophageal sphincter function and the elimination of its symptoms, preventing stomach acids from moving to and through the sphincter.
By achieving the above-mentioned goals, we improve the functions of the inner organs, including tension reduction within the smooth muscles of abdominal structures, and the resulting reduction of abdominal and lower back pain. Importantly, we are also restoring functions of the affected organs and systems.
Abdominal/visceral massage contributes to stress management, but full-body stress management massage should be considered in order to maintain an improved health condition.

I always had respect for massagers. U need to learn a lot of Biology and techniques. I wouldnt have the patient to memorise all these thing. You must be a good teacher. :)

@Registrate4help During many years practicing and teaching massage therapy, I have come to conclusions that memorization of 1000 pages books, contributing very little to therapist ‘s abilities. Please visit my website , and click on articles, one of which titled ” Keep it simple”. Maybe after reading this article you will change your views on you to become massage therapist.BTW. No one knows maybe you blessed with talent, natural sense of touch.
Best wishes.
