Visceral Manipulation

Visceral mobilisation is a gentle fascial mobilisation approach involving specific hand placements on the body that correspond to locations of specific organs

These techniques encourage normal mobility, tone and motion of the organs and surrounding tissues. Frequently, issues in muscles, joints and connective tissue can be traced back to restrictions in the organs in more than 80% of cases. Restrictions can not only lead to musculoskeletal issues but also tension in the respiratory, digestive and nervous systems.

What Visceral Manipulation looks like

During a session, the therapist will place their hands across different organs which are mainly located within the thorax and head. Some of these treatments can feel uncomfortable but should not feel painful. The therapist will move their hands slightly as organ movement returns and there may be sensations that feel unfamiliar as these techniques are very specific.
