Visceral manipulation

Visceral manipulation is bodywork done with an energetic touch working both the front and back sides of the body. All of the systems of the body are able to be treated influencing changes from the spine into the cranium.  Visceral work when combined with the Cranio-Sacral modality has a proven affect on past and present head trauma, headaches and migraines. The viscera within the body connects organs to organs, muscles, tendons and all fascia and is, therefore, excellent for shoulder, neck, back, pelvic pain and chronic musculoskeletal conditions. Visceral manipulation releases scar tissue in the innermost layers of the body, improving function, circulation, energy and mobility.  It is recommended for any post surgery condition, in addition to stomach problems including Irritable Bowel Syndrome, constipation, Hiatal Hernia, and Acid Reflux.  Working with the viscera has proven very successful treating acute breathing problems, sinuses, and conditions related to the lungs.

Visceral manipulation is an effective treatment for a wide range of both acute and chronic disorders and physical ailments and issues.

These include, but are not limited to:
  • whiplash
  • sports injuries
  • acid reflux
  • bladder incontinence
  • effects of menopause
  • headaches and migraines
  • carpal tunnel syndrome
  • sciatica

How can Visceral Manipulation help you?

Visceral Manipulation (VM) is an effective method for finding and solving problems within the body. Use of this technique can:
improve the functioning of internal organs
reduce the effects of negative stress
increase mobility within the musculoskeletal system
influence metabolism

What is a Visceral Manipulation session like?

VM is typically a very gentle technique that uses soft force precisely to manipulate the body deeply, but our Practitioner incorporates use of human energy; which she believes broadens the spectrum of impact. Visceral Manipulation is a technique that seeks to assist the forces already at work within your body, so there is no risk of any further disorganization or injury when performed by a trained therapist.

If you are living with a disorder, condition or issue, I encourage you to come and try Visceral Manipulation (VM) today and experience First Hand how a gentle touch can have a great affect.
