What is Visceral Manipulation?
Visceral Manipulation is a gentle manual therapy that assesses the structural relationships between the viscera (organs), and their fascial or ligamentous attachments to the various systems in the body. The modality assists functional and structural imbalances throughout the body including musculoskeletal, vascular, nervous, urogenital, respiratory, digestive, eliminatory, neuroendocrine, and lymphatic dysfunction.
Visceral manipulation is often used to address pain or tightness that persist even after massage, stretching, and other traditional soft tissue interventions.
