Visceral Manipulation
Visceral Manipulation (VM) was developed by world-renowned French Osteopath and Physical Therapist Jean-Pierre Barral who was voted by Time Magazine as one of the top healing innovators to watch in the new millennium.
Strains in the fascia (connective tissue) surrounding the organs can happen after surgery, from adhesions, infection, illness, poor posture or injury. Tension patterns can form throughout the fascia, creating a cascade of effects often far away from the initial source of the problem.
The body then has to compensate for these fixed points of tension that can then give rise to other structural and functional problems.
With VM we use specific evaluation techniques to find where these main tension points are and then treat what we find. These gentle adjustments can help to improve how the fascia works and therefore allow for optimum function of our internal body structure.
