Visceral Manipulation

You might think of visceral manipulation as myofascial release for the internal organs. When the body experiences stress or strain, the nervous system can become over-facilitated, sending messages to the surrounding tissues to tighten in a protective reaction.

Conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome, scar tissue resulting from surgery, and physical traumas can cause restrictions in and around the organs that, in turn, cause pain and decreased mobility of the back, neck, and extremities. Visceral manipulation locates the origin of the problem and releases the visceral restriction.
