Visceral Manipulation
Gentle manual therapy addressing organ mobility and function
About This Treatment
Visceral manipulation is a gentle manual therapy that assesses and treats the mobility and function of internal organs. French osteopath Jean-Pierre Barral developed this approach based on the principle that organs have their own rhythm and motion. Restrictions in organ mobility can affect musculoskeletal function and overall health. Gentle, specific techniques restore normal motion and improve organ function.

What to Expect
The practitioner palpates your abdomen and other areas to assess organ mobility and restrictions. Treatment uses gentle, specific pressure and movements that feel like light stretching from inside. You remain clothed and the touch is subtle. Sessions last 45-60 minutes. You may feel immediate changes in breathing, pain relief, or digestive comfort. Effects often continue developing for days after treatment.
