Visceral Manipulation

Gentle hands-on work to free the natural movement of your internal organs.

What is it?

Visceral manipulation, or osteopathic visceral therapy, is a gentle manual therapy that improves the mobility and function of the internal organs, such as the stomach, liver, intestines, and diaphragm, along with the connective tissue that surrounds them.

How it helps

When the organs move freely, the strain they place on the surrounding musculoskeletal and nervous systems eases. By restoring this natural mobility, visceral therapy can relieve tension that radiates through the body.

What it supports

It is often used to address:

Digestive discomfort
Abdominal tension
Breathing restrictions
Postural imbalances
