Visceral Mobilization

Visceral mobilization evaluates and restores the normal motion of organs, membranes, fascia/connective tissue and ligaments. Restoring lost motion helps improve circulation, nerve innervation, fluid dynamics and overall function in the treated area whether it’s digestive, respiratory, urogenital/pelvic or musculoskeletal tissues.

Restrictions can result from injuries, surgeries, infections, illness, faulty posture or repetitive stresses and motions. The body compensates for these restrictions and fixations creating structural and functional imbalances. Gentle mobilization and releasing of these fixations helps restore healthy function, can alleviate pain and release emotional holding patterns.

Example:

– A seatbelt may cause restrictions in the abdominal region after a car accident.

These restrictions can lead to problems in digestion, gastric reflux/heartburn or even pelvic problems and hip or low back or neck pain.

– A fall skiing can affect ligaments that attach to the respiratory diaphragm from the liver.

This can affect breathing and/or create shoulder pain or even hip pain.

Visceral Mobilization will help both of the above examples and is often an unknown and overlooked in many treatment approaches.
