Visceral manipulation is a form of manual therapy that focuses on the internal organs of the body, such as the liver, intestines, and bladder. It is based on the idea that tension and restriction in the organs can cause pain and dysfunction elsewhere in the body. Practitioners of visceral manipulation use gentle, hands-on techniques to assess and treat restrictions in the movement of the organs. These techniques may involve applying light pressure or gentle stretching to specific areas of the abdomen or other parts of the body. The goal of visceral manipulation is to improve the functioning of the internal organs, relieve pain, and restore balance and mobility to the body as a whole. It is often used as part of a holistic approach to healthcare, alongside other forms of therapy such as massage, chiropractic care, and exercise.
