Visceral Manipulation…you are blowing my mind!
I have been working with clients for 25 years and I had no idea that what is happening in our bellies and with our organs could have such an influence on our musculoskeletal system.
Well, now I know.
Let me explain.
Our bellies are filled with fascia, this is what keeps all our organs in place. When we experience stress, infection, inflammation, or have surgery on our bellies, the fascia can be disrupted creating tension and even adhesions. When this happens our organs are not held in the correct position which means they can’t slide and glide the way they are supposed to and they can pull on the fascia of our musculoskeletal system.
Here’s an example:
If you have chronic SI or lower back pain, this could be due to a fascia pull coming from your large intestine or liver. Shoulder pain could be related to an issue with your stomach or liver.
The fascia of our guts or viscera is connected to the fascia of our musculoskeletal system. So when one is out of whack it can have a significant influence on the other.
This technique is very gentle and it is often combined with other modalities.
