MELISA BROWN: Hi, my name is Melisa Brown and I'm a licensed massage therapist here in Miami, Florida. I'm with U Need A Massage. In this clip, I would be talking about how to massage the stomach after a body wrap removal. Now, depending on the type of body wrap that you've had, you can be either still very moist because you've been sweating underneath this wrap or you can be very dry because you've taken a shower and it's been a clay. At any rate, any type of massage that you're going to be doing in the abdomen, the first thing you're going to do is place your hands with a lot of respect onto the abdomen. And we're going to be starting to do lots of circular motions, very gently, very gently. Now, my boundaries are the bottom of the rib cage and where the pelvic bones are. And very gently and taking into consideration that they've had breakfast, lunch or dinner or any type of heavy meal, I'm not going to go very deep if they just had a heavy meal. So I'm going to do circular motions using the whole full palm of my hand. I'm not going in very deep, and I can come on one side and press in with my fingers, all four fingers, a double-hand press on top of each other. And then coming back to the other side, I'm doing a double-palm press, pushing in and circular motion going around the abdomen.
