Visceral Manipulation Enhances the normal mobility and tissue motion of the organs of the visceral system.  These gentle manipulations can alter and improve the structure and physiological  functioning of the organs, their systems and the entire body. Excellent for use after surgery and child baring. It helps reduce scar tissue. Visceral Manipulation involves the release of tension in the ligaments of the organs in the body. It is a gentle, but relatively deep tissue therapy with the entire emphasis on making sure that the organs move and glide freely. Frequently the cause of the lack of motion in the organs is due to severe trauma to the body (i.e. car accidents, falls, surgery etc). This therapy has  been around for a number of centuries, originally developed in China and Tibet . But recently this therapy has undergone a considerable amount of research and review by a French osteopath, Dr. Jean-Pierre Barral . He currently trains practitioners in Visceral Manipulation and was featured in Time magazine as one of the next wave of alternative medicines? new innovators.
