breathe deeply, move harmoniously. Jean-Pierre Barral |

VISCERAL MANIPULATION
Visceral Manipulation (VM) was developed by world-renowned French Osteopath and Physical Therapist Jean-Pierre Barral. VM evaluates and restores the integral motion of organs, membranes, fascia, and ligaments. This restoration of lost motion promotes optimal health for the body's vastly intelligent systems-the musculoskeletal, vascular, neural, urogenital, respiratory, and digestive.
Restrictions can result from surgery, infection, illness, trauma, and faulty posture. The body compensates for these restrictions or fixed points, creating structural and functional imbalances. Gentle mobilization of the organs and the surrounding tissue facilitates the body’s inherent and profound healing mechanism. By addressing restrictions in the body's systems, VM promotes improved proprioceptive communication, resulting in relief from pain and dysfunction.
Example: As we breath 23,000 times a day, the diaphragm pushes downward on the kidneys. Optimally the kidneys can move 5 cm, up to 9 cm with a deep inhalation. If there is a restriction, normal mobility is compromised and may contribute to muskuloskeletal pain of the low back and general fatigue in the body.
Proprioception: The unconscious perception of movement and spatial orientation.
