Visceral Manipulation

Visceral Manipulation is a gentle technique to the thoracic and abdominal cavities that a practitioner applies in areas of restriction. It is extremely effective for scar tissue from surgery and direct the related direct trauma around the restriction. It can improve respiration, cardiac health, digestive disturbances & reproductive complaints.

Harmony and health exist when motion is free and excursion is full – when motion is not labored, overexcited, depressed, or conflicting with neighboring structures and their mobility, optimal health is present. Therapists using Visceral Manipulation assess the dynamic functional actions as well as the somatic structures that perform individual activities.

Due to the delicate and often highly reactive nature of the visceral tissues, gentle force precisely directed reaps the greatest results. As with other methods of manipulation that affect the body deeply, Visceral Manipulation works only to assist the forces already at work. Because of that, trained therapists can be sure of benefiting the body rather than adding further injury or disorganization.

Visceral Manipulation is based on the specific placement of soft manual forces to encourage the normal mobility, tone and motion of the viscera and their connective tissues. These gentle manipulations can potentially improve the functioning of individual organs, the systems the organs function within, and the structural integrity of the entire body.
