stomach massage

[winding_road]

I know some people here using the Theracane for (among other ) massaging the stomach or work on their trigger point.

I hope I can discuss with you this feeling I have when I do so.
First of all I can feel I have lots of tension in my stomach.
After pressing over these uncomfortable points in my stomach which feel like a stiff muscle, I feel directly a release of tension AND ( I am sorry I duno how to say it formally) I start burping.. Now I know this is a sign of gas or something like that but I guess it is something more complicated

When my mon use to massage the shoulders of my dad he used to do the same.. like there are these gases that wanna go out.

But is the shoulder stiffness a gas problem ? I don tthink so.. So what about my stomach am I really working on my trigger points or it is just something else.. Although I clearly feel my muscle relaxing

When I press on my abdomen, I get gas. I suspect that it's a similar thing. Probably nothing to worry about.
