Chronic small bowel obstruction from adhesions

I think message is like snake oil. Adhesions are very strong and can’t be massaged away. If massage worked, doctors would be telling you to get messages instead of surgery. If you have had too many surgeries and the surgeon don’t recommend another surgery, they would recommend message yet they don’t. I have also asked a few doctors and they say it won’t help. I asked my trainer for a referral to a massage therapist and this therapist said it won’t help.

Yah I talked to my surgeon yesterday and he said the same thing, it won't really help. I think for myself it is more of a comfort thing, I do it to comfort myself, especially when I am scared that it is about to happen again. He did refer me to a nutritionist though and I am looking forward to meeting with them and learning better diets which is whaty surgeon did suggest. Low fiber diet.
