VISCERAL MANIPULATION addresses the interrelationship of function
and structure among the internal organs and the surrounding musculoskeletal system. The
gentle techniques for engaging and releasing the body's tensions are
comprehensive and highly specific. Structures throughout the body can be
accessed therapeutically, including fascia, ligaments, and viscera. These
deep tissues may retain spasm and nerve irritation, perpetuating chronic
restrictions in the peripheral muscle, spine, and joint systems. This work
acts as a stimulus to the body's own self corrective tissue responses, achieving
profound and effective change and promoting the normalization of mobility,
tone, posture, and overall function.
