Visceral and Neural Manipulation

Visceral Manipulation

Visceral manipulation is a gentle manual therapy that improves the mobility, motility, and vitality of the organs.

Who can benefit from visceral manipulation? Anyone and everyone!

Specific diagnoses that benefit from visceral manipulation:

  • Chronic constipation

  • Bowel pain

  • IBS/Crohn’s

  • Gastritis/gastroparesis

  • Hormonal imbalances

  • Bladder pain/Interstitial Cystitis

  • Abdominal pain

  • Endometriosis

  • Diastasis rectus abdominus

  • Spine pain (Neck and Back)

  • Shoulder pain

  • Hip/groin pain

  • Infertility

  • Sliding hiatal hernias/Acid reflux

  • Surgical interventions with scar tissue and adhesions in the abdominal, lumbar, and pelvic regions

  • Poor sleep quality

  • MVAs

  • Chronic headaches/migraines

The goal of visceral manipulation is to improve the organs ability to move and compensate for it’s given structure and situation.

Neural Manipulation

Neural manipulation is a gentle manual therapy of the nervous system that makes real changes to the mobility and function of the fascial layers of the central and peripheral nerves.

The benefits of neural manipulation are complimentary to visceral manipulation and typically both visceral and neural manipulation are used concurrently to affect your body as a whole.

Diagnoses that benefit from neural manipulation:

  • Neural tension symptoms (numbness, tingling, loss of arm and leg mobility, decreased strength due to neural tension, nerve pain)

  • Headaches

  • Neck and back pain

  • Pudendal nerve pain

  • Abdominal neural pain

  • Poor posture and poor postural development in children and toddlers
