“An organ in good health has physiological motion.” – Jean-Pierre Barral
The “viscera” are the organs.
Organs are involved in up to 70% of musculoskeletal pain. Many of us faithfully pursue therapy for the outside of our bodies (e.g. muscles and bones), but remain unaware of the role our organs play in musculoskeletal pain.
Visceral manipulation* is a specific treatment for internal organs, assessing and supporting organ health from the perspective of mobility. The goal is to promote resolution of pain patterns and other conditions contributing to bodily dis-ease.
Anna Burnett (LMT) and Jessica King (LMT) both incorporate visceral manipulation into their regular office visits. This community clinic provides an opportunity for you to experience a focused organ treatment.
*Visceral manipulation is also called organ specific fascial mobilization.
