Visceral Manipulation and Chi Nei Tsang Assists Pain Digestion and stress

The Taoist monks, who created Chi Nei Tsang, felt tension builds up in the abdominal organs, causing congestion and blockages in the body's energy. This eventually weakens these organs and becomes the root of illness. Chi Nei Tsang is said to be beneficial for a wide variety of issues, including but not limited to digestive disorders, stress, anxiety, emotional imbalances and chronic pain. By gently massaging the abdominal region, the Taoist monks felt your internal organs should become re-energized. Modern science recognizes this area as containing what is known as the “second brain”- the enteric nervous system- which is responsible for many crucial functions like digestion, immune response, and hormone regulation. This system is often referred to as the “gut-brain connection” because of its close relationship with the brain.

Below you will find more details on how Chi Nei Tsang can assist with certain health issues and what to expect from a session.

Detoxify the Body

Chi Nei Tsang helps to detoxify the body by stimulating the lymphatic system. This system is responsible for removing toxins from the body, and massaging the abdomen can help to increase its efficiency. As a result, Chi Nei Tsang can help to boost immunity and reduce inflammation throughout the body.

Reducing Pain and Tension

One of the benefits of Chi Nei Tsang is that it can help release emotions stored in the abdomen. Emotions are often tied to our sympathetic nervous system, otherwise known as the fight and flight response. The sympathetic nervous system heavily innervates the abdominal cavity. When the sympathetic system is active the surrounding muscles tighten, which causes pain and restricts blood flow. When we massage the abdomen and release the stored emotions, we relax the sympathetic nervous system which in turn relaxes the tension in the abdominal muscles and reduces pain.

Improving digestion and elimination

Another benefit of this therapy is that it can help to promote better digestion. Massaging the abdomen helps to stimulate the digestive organs and improve bowel movements. These can also help to relieve bloating, gas, and constipation.

Reducing Stress and Anxiety

One of the primary benefits of Chi Nei Tsang is its ability to reduce stress. This type of massage therapy helps to release tension from the body and promote relaxation. By relieving stress, Chi Nei Tsang can also help to improve mood and increase energy levels.

Increasing Energy and Vitality

One of the most common benefits of Chi Nei Tsang is increased energy levels. This is likely due to the fact that Chi Nei Tsang helps to remove toxins from the body and improve circulation. When the body is free from toxins and the blood is flowing properly, we naturally have more energy.

What is a Chi Nei Tsang Like?

On the day of your appointment, plan to eat and drink normally. Make sure to wear comfortable clothing. Your Chi Nei Tsang practitioner will go over your health history, concerns, and goals.

You will lie comfortably on a table with your abdomen exposed. A session consists of abdominal massage with guided breathing and may also include meditation techniques.

What does a Chi Nei Tsang feel like?

The goal is to release negative energies and detox the internal organs, tissues, and bones. Most people have a deep sense of relaxation both physically and mentally during their sessions.

Afterward, you may feel revitalized and full of energy. It’s also completely normal to feel tired and require a nice long nap.

Regular Chi Nei Tsang sessions are more effective.

Many holistic health practitioners believe emotions literally need to be “digested” by our internal organs, and Chi Nei Tsang can help facilitate this process. After receiving several sessions of Chi Nei Tsang, your therapist will start to recognize imbalances, energy blockages, and patterns in your body so we can address them even more effectively.
