Visceral Manipulation

Visceral Manipulation is a gentle manual therapy that aids and encourages the body’s natural ability to release restrictions and unhealthy compensations that lead to pain and dysfunction. 

“Viscera” relates to the internal organs of the body, such as the liver kidneys and intestines. Treatment using this techniques that involves feelings for altered or decreased motion within the viscera, as well as restrictive patterns throughout the body and then applies gentle visceral manipulation techniques.

When everything in your body is working properly, all of your organs should move and slide over each other smoothly. Unfortunately, strain, overuse or poor posture can cause organs like the kidneys, bladder and intestines to get a little “sticky” which may lead to your internal tissues binding together. This can create adhesions which, once formed, may cause areas of tension that make the organs stick together. This can lead to discomfort and decreased function.Visceral Mobilization is helpful for those who have had any type of abdominal surgery.
