Symptom - Visceral Problems of thorax, abdomen and pelvis.

Viscera is the medical term used to collectively define the organs of the body. Chronic problems of the major organs can benefit from fascial release. This is a specialist technique known as Visceral manipulation developed by French Ostepoath Jean Pierre Barral. This technique directly contacts and manipulates organs like the liver, the gall bladder, the bowels, releasing connective tissue fibres which have got stuck and effect the mobility and motility (motion in natural alignment) of an organ This treatment not only improves organ function, but since Jean Pierre Barral beleives that the body naturally moves to protect our core structures, he aslo indicates that it may improve body posture, alignment and range of movement. Craniosacral therapy can also be used to target nerve tissue supplying a particular body part, encouraging better nervous response to and from the area of a particular visceral structure, with the aim of aiding it towards better health.
