The ancient abdominal massage is one of the massage techniques that can have a beneficial effect on health. This is because it not only improves the function of the abdominal organs, but has a proven effect on many conditions seemingly unrelated to it.

What is an ancient Slavic abdominal massage?

Ancient Greek abdominal massage, also known as Visceral Therapy, is an old massage technique performed on the anterior abdominal skin. It was developed by the Russian physician Alexander Ogulov. The therapy with the help of the old Slavic abdominal massage assumes that the cause of many human diseases is venous and lymphatic stasis, which takes place in and around the internal organs, as well as displacement of organs occurring as a result of trauma or physical exertion.

Visceral therapy, using appropriate techniques, is able to reduce or completely eliminate many ailments of the digestive and genitourinary systems, as well as the musculoskeletal system.
The effectiveness and safety of the Old-Slavic abdominal massage is verified by doctors. The methodology of visceral therapy was developed on the basis of knowledge gained at the Lviv Medical University.

The essence of this massage is the relaxation of the internal organs under pressure. It activates the natural self-healing process and cleanses the digestive system. In addition, the therapy has a good effect on the function of the internal organs, reduces tension, contractures and stasis and counteracts indigestion and constipation and detoxifies the body.

With the appropriate manual techniques used by visceral therapists, fascial tension can be normalised and blood flow in the internal organs and abdominal cavity can be improved. This has a beneficial effect on metabolism and immunity.
