The therapist will help relax the abdominal muscles while sliding fingers in massaging movements down the rib cage.
The technique is to lie on the back and use the arms to stretch out and lengthen the body. With your thumb positioned left, place your palm on your sternum. Massage is carried along the rib cage down the navel gently for as long as 10 minutes or as comfortable.
Another technique that therapists follow when it comes to live massage is to lie on the right side with knees slightly bent and the head comfortably resting in a forward position. With the left hand over the liver and right hand by the side the therapist will use the knuckle to massage gently down the rib cage, again slowly going back upwards. This posture and style of massaging then continues for over 10 minutes till the client feels comfortable.
Yoga massage is also a great way to increase liver health. The technique is simple and doesn’t involve a hand massage. Stand with legs apart and hands on hips. Now make circles with your hips, leaning forward and outward with each circle. This method is then continued for about 10 minutes and is a good way to restore proper liver functioning.
