Massage Therapy Glossary
Visceral Manipulation This gentle, hands-on, osteopathic technique works on the fascia of the abdominal organs, to alleviate points of tension throughout the body. Visceral manipulation, known in Tibet for over 200 years, was adapted by Jean Pierre Barrall, a French osteopath. His osteopathic version is known internationally. Spasms, adhesions and discomfort of the abdomen caused by severe trauma can cause chronic irritation and fascial displacement. The gentle, deep abdominal manipulation helps reduce the blockages and restrictions of the tissues and restores the proper movement of the organs. Visceral massage can ease back pain, indigestion and discomfort caused by abdominal duress. No oils are used. Also see Abdominal Massage and Osteopathy.
