Visceral Manipulation
Gentle and powerful
Visceral Manipulation (VM) was developed by renowned French Osteopath and Physical Therapist, Jean-Pierre Barral. Through organ-specific fascial mobilization, VM assists functional and structural imbalances throughout the body including musculoskeletal, vascular, nervous, urogenital, respiratory, digestive and lymphatic dysfunction. It evaluates and treats the dynamics of motion and suspension in relation to organs, membranes, fascia, and ligaments. VM increases proprioceptive communication within the body, thereby revitalizing a person and relieving symptoms of pain, dysfunction, and poor posture.

All of our organs are suspended within the musculoskeletal system via specific fascial connections. VM recognizes these relationships. Through palpatory skills, our doctor assesses the motion of the organs and their fascial attachments. Gentle techniques are then applied to release any tension present. Much scientific research has shown the efficacy of this incredible manual therapy which is appropriate for all ages. Our doctors perform VM as a stand alone treatment and / or in addition to an acupuncture and / or Chinese herbal medicine treatment.
“I don’t need a chiropractor anymore. I thought my back pain was because of my back, but then the doctor released my small intestine, it was so crazy, I felt movement in my guts and then my whole low back just released!”
