The role of Medical Massage in stress management, discovery of sexuality, and improvement of sexual satisfaction
By Boris Prilutsky
Many couples cannot find balance and harmony in sexual relations and it’s not because of lack of emotions, love or admiration for each other. According to many experts in clinical psychology, sexual pathology and many other adjacent fields the main obstacle to couples’ inability to reach top sexual satisfaction, to discover the maximum of what sexual act can offer is stress and emotional memory that body cells carry.
According to many surveys nowadays stress is responsible for pandemics of stress related diseases, such as anxiety, tension headaches, essential hypertension, stomach aches, sleep disorders and more. Practically each of us to a certain degree suffers from anxieties, which is a result of higher than normal sympathetic activity.
It is impossible to get maximum satisfaction from intimacy, if not to get satisfaction at all at the time of high level of sympathetic activities. Sexual responses are regulated by the mutual activities of sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions of nervous systems, but under domination influence of parasympathetic division as well as involvement of somatic innervations. Even considering the difference in female and male reflex pathways before intimacy, and at the time of sexual activities, the function of autonomic nervous system is similar. That includes blood vessel dilation, which causes penis and clitoris erections, vaginal smooth muscles contractions at the time of orgasm, as well as smooth muscles constrictions at the time of ejaculations.
In addition, activities of parasympathetic division of autonomic nervous system regulate digestive system, pulmonary system, as well as sexual reproductive organs. At the time it is the main inhibitor of over active sympathetic activities. When most of the parasympathetic potentials are directed to neutralize stress related side effects, it is impossible to expect normal parasympathetic function at a time of sexual act. At the same time only normal parasympathetic functioning is necessary for sexual satisfaction as well as for discovery of sexualities. Also it is important to mention that under stress our skeletal muscles demonstrating higher muscular tensions, which in turn limit the range of muscular constrictions. Contractions of the skeletal pelvic muscles are accompanied orgasm in both sexes, and unless these muscles relaxed, it is hard to expect full sexual satisfactions.
As you can see, stress presents number of serious challenges to a quality of sex and sexual satisfaction to its maximum extent. Many people try to manage stress by being sexually very active. Factually it doesn't work and causes trouble in personal relationship because in such a cases and under stress no harmony can be achieved. The good news is… that it is clinically and scientifically proven, that massage can address and eliminate these challenges, but let me first tell you about another serious challenge to sexual relations.
Storage of negative emotion in body parts.
Spending many years in a treatment room, at times I witnessed patients’ seemingly bizarre behavior. While massaging an absolutely healthy, with no signs of pain, part of a body, suddenly, a person starts crying, shaking or complaining about cold in a room with 75 degrees temperature. Often in the aftermath people feel embarrassed and even ask for an apology.
Explanations of these phenomena are negative memories stored in body part that started to come up to the surface. Crying, shaking or complaining of cold – all is expression of emotional release, accompanied by muscular constriction, followed by a relaxation of a part or the entire body.
Many years ago, while in a grad school, I did believe that what the textbook was saying, are rules “written in stone.” But little by little witnessing similar phenomena in the treatment room I realized that the theory of “body cells carrying emotional memory” is a true one. In my book “Simple Approach to Medical Massage” I presented an example of how a heavy weight boxer - a World champion, started to cry during the massage session, releasing emotions connected with events that had happened when he was 8 years old. “body cells carrying emotional memory” to me this is already not a theory but clinically proven phenomena.
Emotions stored in any part of the body, especially in the pelvic floor, if they are not released, will trigger a reaction to a touch such as a constriction of muscles. Harmony as well as top sexual satisfaction will not be achieved under these conditions. Imagine that at a time of a sexual act one of the partners touches a part of a body while this body part carry emotional memory or psychological scar. At the time when this happen a person might pay no attention to such constriction. But will such a person get a complete satisfaction from such an act?
Therefore emotional scars must be eliminated. It is proven scientifically and, most importantly, clinically that massage therapy is the most powerful methodology in stress management as well as it releases emotions stored in body parts.
To obtain results, fifty percent of massage should be spent on kneading. Soon I will release video file that will familiarize you with few easy to perform, various kneading techniques used in Medical Massage. We will alternate and I will teach you combination of different types of easy to perform massage techniques that will include kneading.
I will you how prepare yourself for these emotional releases, how to hold hands on body parts that stores these emotional scars, and more.
In case if you will decide to provide therapy for your partners ,let me give you one important advice. When you perform a massage on your partner try to conduct yourself professionally like therapy giver/provider. Your attraction to each another might compel you to do otherwise. But, it is very important that treatment shouldn’t be interrupted. These 45 to 55 minutes must be dedicated to treatment, and treatment only. During this procedure your partner will get a sense of trust to your touch and for the long run releasing bad memories and healing emotional scars will do wonders to your sex life. Your sexual act in the future will be much more prolonged and you will be able to pick up sexual energy from each other and to bring this to the greatest sensation possible. By managing stress and releasing emotions quality of your life including sexual life will be improved tremendously. No doubts that your clients quality of life including sexual life qualities will be improved due to constantly receiving therapy for stress management. Just educate them to receive on weekly basis full body stress management massage. You are welcome to visit:

I would, however, refer you to:

Hi Raven.
when we performing abdominal/ visceral part of it is a mobilization of pelvic floor. Soon will be available my instructional video on subject, and if you will have interest to study this protocol you'll have opportunity.
Best wishes.

PS.I have double checked and social medical diseases doesn't stand for sexually transmitted diseases.
Hi, Michael--
I would not have understood "social medical disease" before this discussion, and I don't think others would, either.
I think the best terms for clarity's sake are "sexually-transmitted diseases" ("venereal disease" and "social disease" are throwbacks to when direct speech was considered impolite) and "stress-linked diseases" or "diseases of modern Western societies". You should have no trouble with people understanding your use of those terms.
cheers,
Raven
Once again, it was a simple yes-or-no question. I am assuming now that you have graduated to personal attacks ("you have no clue") that you're not even going to pretend to answer my questions any longer.
Your assumption about my experience with abdominal/visceral massage is incorrect, by the way--many of the refugees with whom I worked manifested emotional distress as chronic abdominal pain, and I have worked successfully with them. In addition, I have worked with paralyzed and semi-paralyzed patients with immobility-induced constipation, also successfully, and I have studied MLD visceral techniques.
It is curious that you react to my direct, simple questions by dodging them and attacking me personally. I hope that in the classroom, at least, you do not respond to students' questions in that way.
Anyway, since you clearly have no intention of answering my questions, I'll visualize an approach to the pelvic floor through the viscera myself.
Figure 404 shows the pelvic floor, including the levator ani and coccygeus. The obvious way to gain direct access is through the vagina or anal canal, but I am assuming you are not advocating those approaches for obvious reasons.
http://education.yahoo.com/reference/gray/illustrations/figure?id=404
The pubis bone (symphysis pubis) blocks the next best approach, so you have to move rostral. Once you do that, the fact that the pelvic floor is deep to other structures, such as the iliopectineal line, the obturator nerve and vessels, and bladder make the approach to the pelvic floor from an abdominal direction a complicated prospect.
I do not think it is at all obvious, nor do I think that asking the obvious questions about how it works means that I "have no clue".

Raven. This is how you conducted question about abdominal /visceral massage when I mention that part of it is a pelvic floor mobilization ."But specifically, just to be crystal-clear, you don't insert a finger into any orifice, nor touch the anal sphincter, labia, clitoris, mons, scrotum, penis, or testes at all; is that correct?"
Abdominal visceral /massage is longtime known procedure, of direct and indirect stimulations of inner organs with in abdominal cavities. Therefore when you did post question in this format I understood that you know very little or maybe none about abdominal/visceral massage.in my direct answer as you requested is NO we not touching reproductive organs and other private parts. Soon I will propose article and video material on this subjectSorry for using:” no clue”
I would like to propose to stop to produce /create this kind of negative energy around our communications .
Let's try to discuss issues and to be more friendly. We can agree or disagree, but first of all let's focus
on topics of discussion which is: stress negative affecting our quality of life , including health in general but not limited to affecting negative our sexual life. This is the crucial point. We agree or disagree on it? The other important point of discussion is to discuss role of stress management massage at this conditions. My claim that massage therapy is most powerful methodology in stress management from all existing healthcare methods. We agree or disagree? This is actually what my article was about.
Best wishes.
Boris
My pleasure, Michael.
If you are interested in the topic of stress-related diseases, may I suggest the writings of Robert Sapolsky as a start?
http://www.stanford.edu/group/howiwrite/Bios/robertsapolsky/index.html
He's a neuroscientist at Stanford, who writes in a most engaging, accessible, and scientifically-solid way. I recommend his work very highly.

Hi Daniel.I'm glad that you practicing this wonderful discipline. abdominal/ visceral massage that I am practicing is a very multiple beneficial procedure .it is effective in abdominal post surgical scar tissue management, adhesions elimination,for stress management( many carry stress and negative emotions at abdominals) including all disorders that you have mentioned.it's including mobilization of posterior,lateral and anterior abdominal walls.many times abdominal cavity disorders triggering lower back pains and addressing only lower back doesn't work in this cases.it was developed in Europe.German, Russian, Czech Republic scientists contributed different components to protocol.BTW.I have a friend
Dr.Kaneko who teaching and practicing shiatsu at Santa Monica CA. He performing abdominal massage utilizing techniques that quite similar to what I am doing. Soon will be available instructional material.
Best wishes

I am very interested in abdominal massage. It has so many benefits and can relieve many illnesses. I use several forms, selecting which I think will give the most relief in the circumstance. The pelvic bowl/floor has so many relationships to physical and emotional conditions. Currently I use deep visceral techniques from Korean Martial Therapy, Lomi Lomi, Deep Lymphatic Massage, and MFR. It has helped bring relief from fibrosis, colitis, nausea, incontinence, and much more. I will be very interested to hear and see your abdominal/visceral massage. Is it from Russian massage? I am also interested in Mayan Abdominal massage and would like to hear from any that use it regarding the effectiveness.
