Fat deposits on the sides and abdomen can occur for various reasons, but this does not mean that the situation cannot be corrected.
An effective way to combat this problem is abdominal massage, which can be done even at home.
Below you will find the top five abdominal massage techniques - you can choose one of them, or you can alternate those that you like the most.
Traditional massage consists of stroking, rubbing, pinching, pressing and vibration. These manipulations are performed with the palms and fingers in the direction of the massage lines.
During pinching massage, the massage therapist grabs and pinches the skin: these movements warm up the tissues, stimulate blood circulation and normalize metabolic processes. The use of creams and oils during the procedure additionally cares for the skin.
To perform this type of massage, you need special silicone cups, which can be found in a pharmacy. A cupping massage session usually lasts no more than 20 minutes. It gives good results, but improper handling of the "working tool" can lead to the appearance of hematomas and bruises on the skin.
Acupressure is based on the principles of acupuncture, a branch of alternative medicine. In this case, specific points of the body are affected by special needles, which stimulates metabolic processes, accelerates the breakdown of fats and improves the general condition of the body.
This method is worth choosing for those whose problems with the figure are related to edema. Massage improves the movement of lymph and relieves tissue swelling, due to which the abdomen becomes more toned.
