What is Visceral Manipulation?

Visceral Manipulation (VM) is a hands-on therapy that works with the body's organs to locate and alleviate abnormal points of tension. VM does not focus solely on the pain site or dysfunction but evaluates the entire body to find the source of the problem. Thus enhancing the normal mobility and tissue motion of the organs. 

Tightness, displacement, and adhesions can cause organs to work against each other, creating chronic irritation/inflammation and abnormal points of tension. 

Surgeries, sedentary lifestyles, infection, bad diet, pregnancy, and emotions. can all contribute to the stasis and inefficiency of the organs.

When you are healthy, all the structures move with fluidity. This is important as it influences activities throughout the body creating a harmonious relationship.
