The organs in our body have a certain range of movement that is normal, just like our joints, they need to move within a normal range so we can function.
The movement of an organ can be restricted by surgical scars, adhesions, infection, illness, poor posture, or traumatic injury. A restriction prevents the "gliding and sliding" action of the organ over other structures within the body, creating an area of fixation. Our body learns to accommodate by moving around this area of tension, and over time this repeated movement leads to chronic irritation and inflammation-causing musculoskeletal, neural, and visceral dysfunction.
Visceral therapy is a gentle manual treatment that restores the healthy relationship between internal organs — such as the bladder, intestines, and abdominal structures — and the surrounding system of muscles, fascia, ligaments, and joints. By improving organ mobility and reducing myofascial adhesions, this therapy enhances internal balance and supports natural digestive and intestinal function.
To amplify the results, the approach is combined with advanced massage techniques and targeted core-muscle activation. This helps improve lumbar stability, support proper spinal alignment, and increase overall functional movement. Enhanced core engagement also contributes to healthier intestinal motility and better coordination between deep abdominal structures.
Kinesio taping may be used as an additional tool to reduce tension, reinforce structural support, and guide the body toward more efficient, pain-free biomechanics.
This integrated method brings together visceral work, muscular therapy, and fascial techniques, offering a comprehensive and effective solution for restoring balance, movement, and internal harmony.
Visceral therapy has been effective in the treatment of:
- Pelvic Floor Dysfunction
- Chronic Pelvic Pain
- Fibroids & Cysts
- Interstitial Cystitis
- Bladder urgency/frequency
- Bladder incontinence
- Constipation and Bloating
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome
- GERD, Acid Reflux
- Chronic Spinal Dysfunction
- Sciatica
- Fibromyalgia
- Joint Pain
- Post Operative Scar Tissue
- Anxiety and Depression
Generally, abdominal therapy is safe for most people provided it's done in a gentle and safe manner:
Don't have abdominal therapy if you've had recent abdominal surgery.
Talk to your doctor before getting abdominal therapy if you're pregnant or have any health concerns.
It's best that you don't eat any heavy or spicy foods for a few hours before and after an abdominal therapy
Drink plenty of water after the therapy.
