Visceral Manual Therapy for physiotherapists and osteopaths

Discover visceral manipulation techniques that affect fascia and peritoneal and pleural movement, not organ mobility, with thoracic and abdominal applications, and learn contraindications through practical demonstrations.

Observe the patient standing to assess belly and visceral area, thorax, and breathing; palpate the lower and upper abdomen to gauge stiffness and potential gastrointestinal or organ issues.

Assess thorax elasticity and rib mobility, then evaluate abdominal fascia and peritoneal pressure via a clockwise, six-quadrant palpation to guide treatment.

Explore thorax treatment in visceral manual therapy, using breath-guided positioning, sternum pressure, and rib mobilization to activate abdominal muscles and improve visceral function.

Learn visceral manual techniques for the upper abdomen in a supine position, mobilizing soft tissues, the diaphragm, and ribs to reduce stiffness and symptoms such as reflux.

Apply visceral manual techniques to the upper thorax with seated rib mobilization, a slow spiral push and rotate, and adaptable hand placement for nausea or vertigo relief.

Apply soft and deep visceral techniques to the lower abdomen, targeting the right, middle, and left quadrants to influence the descending colon, mesentery, digestion, and gas movement.

Perform visceral manual techniques to the descending colon in a lateral position, hooking the tissue and mobilizing the pelvis in a spiral motion to create tension and relaxation for digestion.

learn visceral manual techniques for the mesentery to provide drainage and mobilize the small intestines through guided spirals and precise hand placements.
