Visceral Manipulation

Service Description

The majority of a Visceral Manipulation session will be gentle manual therapy to release restrictions in the abdominal organs and surrounding tissues, particularly the ligaments holding those organs in place. These supportive tissues tend to accumulate tension from trauma and stress holding patterns, and this tension can cause all sorts of problems such as postural misalignments and impaired digestion. Visceral Manipulation supports improved mobility, posture, function, and overall comfort and well-being in your body. This modality is still very gentle but the level of touch is slightly firmer than Craniosacral. You will be fully clothed for the session, mostly laying on your back on a massage table, or if remotely then somewhere comfy of your choosing, and possibly on your side or sitting upright for specific techniques. Your first Visceral Manipulation session includes intake and assessment, and sessions always begin with Craniosacral Therapy to relax the nervous system. Follow-up sessions can be booked once you’ve received an initial session. Follow-ups are much like initial sessions, including a more brief intake. Craniosacral Therapy is always incorporated throughout, to regulate and relax the nervous system.
