VISCERAL MANIPULATION (VM)
- This form of manual therapy was developed by Dr. Jean-Pierre Barral. I have studied with Dr Jean-Pierre Barral for 15 years. This has given me the opportunity to learn his work directly from him firsthand, from foundational to advanced techniques.
- VM focuses on the internal organs,
their environment, the vasculature and related nerves, and their potential influence on many structural and physiological dysfunctions. - Visceral Manipulation is a gentle therapy in which the highly trained therapist “listens” to the tissues with their hands to find the restriction(s) impairing a person’s functionality and wellbeing.
- VM addresses the structural imbalances that affect their musculoskeletal, vascular, nervous, urogenital, respiratory, digestive, and lymphatic dysfunction by restoring harmony and increasing proprioceptive communication in the body.
- This improves the internal mechanisms of the body for better health, relief from symptoms of pain, dysfunction, and poor posture.
