Visceral manipulation is aimed at?

Visceral manipulation specifically targets the enhancement of organ function by addressing restrictions and tensions in the fascia surrounding the organs. This approach is based on the understanding that the proper movement and positioning of internal organs are essential for optimal physiological function. By gently manipulating these structures, practitioners aim to restore normal mobility and balance, thereby facilitating the organs’ ability to perform their physiological roles more effectively.

This technique promotes the flow of fluids, nerve function, and overall vitality of the organ systems, which aligns with the goals of osteopathic practice that emphasizes the interconnection between the body’s systems. The focus on visceral manipulation underlines the importance of treating not just the musculoskeletal components but also the internal organs to achieve holistic health.
