Guest guest Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 <According to my massage therapist - when you do the (gentle!) abdominal self massage, you should go in a circle (even making curly-cue/daisy pattern) over the abdominal are - and always do it in a counter-clockwise direction - since that's the natural path of the digestive system.> Hi Cathie, Actually, it should always be in a clockwise direction. The ascending colon starts on the right hand side of the body, goes to the transverse colon and then the descending colon on the left side of the body.

Now would that be counter-clockwise while standing in my body or looking back at myself ??? lol This is going to be an interesting one to explain... Darn! the baby's awake for another feed! I don't think I'm ever going to catch up with my e-mails! lol Blessings Mama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
