Massaging near the appendix also helps to move any stagnant fecal matter that is stuck there. Stagnant fecal matter in the appendix can lead to bacteria build up and inflammation.

With areas of deep pain, in the colon area, do not continue the massage. Consider consulting with a doctor, if the pain persists.
