Colon Massage Masterclass

What is it?

A one day intensive training course covers everything you need to know in order for you to:-

• Add Colon Massage Therapy to your treatment portfolio.

• The course will allow you to perform an effective yet gentle treatment that helps to loosen hardened debris (that may have been in the gut for years) and encourages a natural movement. It helps provide relief from constipation and bloating and improves the detoxification process. It increases blood and lymph flow within the abdominal area to bring increased oxygen and remove cellular waste and relaxes muscle tension surrounding the colon. Overall, colon massage will help your clients have improved digestive health, better elimination and increased metabolism as a result. This is ideal if you have clients who suffer from digestive complaints, including IBS, diverticulitis etc. As well as digestive health, colon massage can help address back pain, painful/irregular periods and ovulation problems and it can help support people trying to lose weight.
