Visceral (organ) Health & Manipulation

Your gut health is the bane of your existence and you have tried everything to feel well but you still don't.
You have chronic pain that persists keeping you from your desired high performing life.
You just can't seem to get your energy back.

Constipation &/or bloating has plagued you what seems like your entire life.
You haven't been the same since a car accident, surgery, injury, or a life changing experience.

Every organ in your body should have a natural INHERENT MOTION, or 'swing set motion' as I call it.

This motion is dictated by how your organ developed in embryo. This 'swing set motion' should naturally move at about 7 cycles per minute.

The organ's inherent motion is how it communicates with the brain. Therefore, if for any reason, such as,

inflammation, injury, disease, surgery, emotion, or adhesions, the organ loses it's motion, disease and dysfunction can follow.

Secondly, your organs need MOBILITY. They need to move as you move in order to allow for full function.

For instance, if your liver is taxed from the alcohol your drank last night or the medication you have been taking,

when you try to rotate your trunk or lift up your right arm, it may be

restricted because the organ is sluggish and thus it's surrounding tissue has tension.

Visceral Manipulation, founded by Dr. Jean Pierre Barral, D.O., P.T., is an integrative approach to evaluation and treatment.

Each patient requires a thorough assessment of the structural relationships between the viscera, and their fascial or

ligamentous attachments to the musculoskeletal system.

Over time, layers in your system add up from surgical scars, adhesions, illness, poor posture or injury and cause strains in the

connective tissue of the viscera. The lines of tension through the system's deep fascial networks create a

cascade of effects often far from the originating source.

This creates fixed, abnormal points of tension resulting in compensatory movements of the body, ultimately causing

chronic irritation, which gives way to functional and structural problems.

Visceral Manipulation as a treatment increases proprioceptivecommunication within the body,

thereby revitalizing a person and relieving symptoms of pain, dysfunction, and poor posture.
