Visceral Manipulation

Visceral Manipulation is based on the principle that in optimal health, the organs (viscera) and muscles, membranes, fascia and bones remain stable despite the body’s motion. When one organ can’t move in harmony with its neighbors due to abnormal tone, adhesions or displacement, it creates fixed abnormal points of tension around which the body is forced to move. This chronic irritation is a pathway to disease and dysfunction. The therapist finds and releases these points of fixation and restores motion.
