Abdominal Massage for Bloating, Endometriosis & Digestive Health in Northampton

The abdomen is one of the most neglected areas of the body in Western healthcare — and one of the most important. It holds the digestive system, the reproductive organs, and a vast network of nerves that connect directly to the brain. When tension, adhesions, or stagnation build up here, the effects are felt throughout the whole body.

Tessa practises Amno Fu — a specialist form of abdominal massage rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine and naturopathic principles. It uses precise, rhythmic techniques to release tension in the abdominal cavity, improve circulation and lymphatic drainage, and support both digestive and hormonal health.

Tessa is one of very few practitioners offering this treatment in Northamptonshire.

What does abdominal massage help with?

Amno Fu is particularly effective for women experiencing digestive or hormonal symptoms that haven’t fully responded to other approaches:

  • Bloating and abdominal discomfort
  • IBS and irregular digestion
  • Constipation and sluggish bowel
  • Endometriosis pain and pelvic tension
  • Painful or irregular periods
  • Hormonal imbalance and cycle-related symptoms
  • Post-surgical adhesions in the abdominal area
  • General tension and tightness in the core

What happens in a session?

Tessa begins with a thorough consultation covering your digestive and hormonal history, lifestyle, and what you are hoping to address. Treatment involves gentle, targeted massage of the abdomen using warm oil, working with the natural rhythms of your body rather than against them.

The work is done over the abdomen and lower back. You remain comfortable throughout — the pressure is firm enough to be effective but never harsh. Most clients find sessions deeply relaxing and many notice improvements in digestion within 24–48 hours of their first treatment.

A course of sessions is usually recommended for lasting results, particularly for hormonal or endometriosis-related symptoms.

Sessions last 60 minutes.

Pricing

Sessions are £50 for 60 minutes, available by appointment from Tessa’s practice in Wilby, a few minutes from Wellingborough and approximately 20 minutes from Northampton.

Frequently asked questions

Can abdominal massage help endometriosis?

Abdominal massage can help manage the pain, tension, and adhesions associated with endometriosis. Amno Fu works with the connective tissue and organs of the abdominal cavity to release tightness and improve circulation to the pelvic area. While it is not a cure for endometriosis, many women find regular sessions significantly reduce pain and improve quality of life.

Does abdominal massage help bloating?

Yes — abdominal massage directly stimulates the digestive system, encouraging peristalsis (the wave-like movement of the gut) and helping to move trapped gas and stagnation. Most clients notice a reduction in bloating and improved digestion after their first session, with cumulative benefits building over a course of treatment.

Is abdominal massage safe?

Amno Fu abdominal massage is safe for most women. Tessa conducts a full consultation before every session to identify any contraindications. It is not recommended during pregnancy or immediately after abdominal surgery, but is suitable for most other circumstances including those managing endometriosis, IBS, and hormonal conditions.
