Visceral Manipulation

VM is a gentle, hands-on manual therapy used to help your internal organs (viscera) glide smoothly within your body. VM helps to release mobility restrictions and restore the organ’s mobility and motility. When an organ does not have normal movement it can be a cause of pain and impede the organ’s normal physiological functions. Organs may lose their normal mobility or motility after trauma, surgery, birth, or infection. Visceral manipulation helps to gain space around the organ and within an organ that may be compressed, restricted or adhered to another structure.

WHAT TO EXPECT:  Visceral manipulation is a gentle compression that can feel like a stretch or mild pressure in the abdomen. This stretching and compression may result in some mild warmth or tingling to the area due to increased blood flow. 

Benefits:

  • Digestive disorders (nausea, constipation, bloating)

  • Headaches, migraines;

  • Joint and neck pain;

  • Anxiety issues, depression, PTSD​
