Visceral osteopathy
Visceral osteopathy addresses the relationship of structure
and function among the internal organs (viscera) and musculoskeletal system.
Pain and mobility restrictions in one region can persist because the root
cause is actually located elsewhere.
For instance, neck problems are often related to pleural tension,
since the ligaments that suspend and support the lungs attach to the
cervical vertebra and upper ribs.
The ligaments around the liver can have chronic tension affecting the stomach,
lungs and spleen, and so on.
How Does Visceral Manipulation Help You?
Visceral manipulation is used to locate and resolve such problems. It is based on the specific placement of gentle manual forces to encourage the normal mobility, tone and motion of internal organs and their connective tissues. It encourages your own natural mechanisms to improve the works of your organs, dissipate the negative effects of stress. This leads to improving the structural integrity of the entire body, enhancing general health and resistance to disease.
