Visceral Manipulation
Chronic tension in your core?
What Is Visceral Manipulation?
Visceral manipulation is a gentle, hands-on therapy that focuses on the soft tissues and organs of your body—like your stomach, liver, and intestines. When these internal structures get restricted due to stress, surgery, injury, or inflammation, they can create pain, tension, or even affect other areas like your back, shoulders, or hips. With light, precise touch, your therapist works to release these restrictions, restore natural movement, and improve overall function.
