Viscera relates to the internal organs of the body, such as the liver, kidneys and intenstines.

Organs lose mobility due to physical trauma, surgery, lifestyle, infection, pollution, diet, posture, pregnancy and such. When an organ is restricted and fixed to another structure, the body is forced to compensate. This creates abnormal points of tension and chronic irritation gives way to functional and structural problems.

Imagine scar tissue around the lungs. Every breath requires movement but the scar tissue alters the normal pattern. This could shift rib movement creating pulls on the spine resulting in mid-back and neck pain and limit shoulder movement. This example just highlights just one of the hudreds of possible ramifications of a small dysfunction.

Visceral manipulation is a gentle manual therapy that aids your body’s ability to release restrictions and unhealthy compensations that cause pain and dysfunctions. The therapist feels for the altered or decreased motion within the viscera, as well as restrictive patterns throughout the body and helps the body to restore itself to health.
