Visceral Therapy

Visceral therapy is a gentle, hands-on, manual technique for encouraging normal mobility, tone and motion of the viscera (internal organs), and their connective tissues. Practitioners can evaluate the interplay of forces between the organs and the surrounding tissues, which may affect the mobility and function of these tissues. They may assess the dynamic functional actions to evaluate the quality of the somatic structures.

Due to the delicate and often highly reactive nature of the visceral tissues, precisely directed gentle force reaps the greatest results. As with other methods of manipulation that affect the body deeply, Visceral Manipulation works only to assist the forces already at work.
