Visceral Manipulation

Visceral manipulation is a specific form of manual medicine developed by French osteopath Jean Pierre Barral.

Did you know that all of our organs are suspended within the musculoskeletal system via specific fascial connections? Visceral manipulation recognises the importance of this relationship between these systems. As osteopaths, we are taught to assess the motion of the viscera and its fascial attachments and use gentle techniques to release any tension present and restore balance.  As this fascia contains both nerve and blood vessels, removing stress and strain from this fascia can help improve both the nerve and blood supply.

As an osteopath, I am able to combine the specific technique of visceral manipulation with osteopathic principles and philosophy to aid in restoring balance and wellbeing.
