Visceral Manipulation: Restoring Harmony in the Body’s Internal Landscape
Visceral manipulation is a gentle, manual therapy approach that addresses the interconnectedness of the body’s organs, including both dense structures (liver, kidneys, spleen, heart, pancreas) and hollow structures (stomach, bladder, intestines, uterus, prostate). These organs, like the joints, have a normal range of motion essential for optimal health.
Restrictions in organ mobility can arise from various factors, including trauma, surgery, infection, illness, and postural imbalances. Such restrictions can impede the natural “gliding and sliding” of organs, leading to chronic irritation, inflammation, and dysfunction.
Quantum Osteopathy employs skilled assessment to detect and address these often overlooked restrictions. Through precise and gentle techniques, we restore normal organ mobility, promoting harmonious function within the body’s internal landscape. This holistic approach supports overall health and well-being.
Some conditions visceral/organ treatments address:
- post-surgical abdominal scars
- adhesions: endometriosis, surgeries, etc.
- congested or slow functioning liver
- stomach problems: hiatal hernia, GERD, esophageal constrictions
- intestinal problems: IBS, constipation
- urogenital problems
- shoulder problems that come from restrictions in the thorax
- hip problems that come from restrictions in the thorax
- diaphragmatic restrictions in breathing and movement
