View the floating/bobbing canoe technique used in Lomi Lomi Massage as taught at CE Institute LLC!

Lomi massage is built upon the foundations of ancient Hawaiian healing techniques which are a more natural approach, beyond today's modern conventional medical practices.

CE Institute LLC has evolved to an evidence-based massage instructional school. We teach from proven medical methods and research, when it is available.

In this short video which is publicly available on YouTube, we provide an instructor demonstration of how to provide aromatherapy massage to relieve constipation in the elderly, as demonstrated in the 2005 research study titled:  Effect of aromatherapy massage for the relief of constipation in the elderly

Please keep in mind that this research study was translated to English from a foreign language, so the hands-on practice of the researched intervention is lose (not exact) translation of the manual protocol.

The study uses lemon, peppermint and rosemary essential oils for the abdominal massage, which can also be called belly massage or tummy massage.

The answer is, you massage in clockwise direction on a client's abdomen, in most cases. Licensed massage therapists should always perform a health intake process with each individual client to ensure that their unique needs are met.  An example of when you might massage in counterclockwise direction on the abdomen might be when you have a client diagnosed with situs inversus.

A tummy massage therapy routine example could consist of standing on the left hand side of the table next to the client's tummy.  The massage would start at the left side of the abdomen at the ascending colon, then massage from left to right across the transcending colon, then massage inferiorly on the right lateral side of the navel or tummy, working downwards on the descending colon.  This is different from manual lymphatic drainage or some other bodywork hands-on skills and techniques.
