If you want to restore normal movement and improve your internal organs’ function, visceral manipulation massage may be the right choice.
Visceral manipulation brings natural movement through the organs and produces better blood flow to the viscera (internal organs), resulting in overall better health.
What exactly is Visceral Manipulation?
By definition, a visceral manipulation massage is a slow and gentle process of massaging the viscera, or internal organs, to promote better function, reduce pain, and increase mobility. Sometimes internal organs, such as the kidneys and the stomach, will hold onto stress which can cause nerves to lock up.
How Visceral Manipulation Relieves Pain
Visceral manipulation is a gentle technique that massages internal organs like the stomach and kidneys. It helps reduce pain and increase mobility. Stress, infections, or trauma can cause restrictions in organ movement. For example, if the liver is immobile, it can affect nearby organs like the small intestine, leading to further issues.
Scar tissue from past trauma can also restrict organ movement, impacting blood flow. This tight tissue can cause local problems, like the gallbladder not emptying properly, or broader issues, such as limited hip movement leading to sciatica.
Our Osteopathic Manual Practitioner can assess and treat these restrictions through visceral manipulation.
What Conditions Can Visceral Manipulation Help With?
Visceral manipulation is effective for many health concerns, especially digestive issues. It can relieve conditions like bloating, constipation, menstrual cramps, acid reflux, and esophageal discomfort. Gentle massage techniques can help break up scar tissue, stimulate nerves, and restore normal function.
Common Health Concerns:
- Sports injuries, such as whiplash, sprains, and sore muscles.
- Men’s health problems, such as swollen prostate, pelvic pain, and testicular pain.
- Women’s health issues, such as endometriosis, ovarian cysts, and menopausal symptoms.
- Post-operative scar tissue buildup.
- Pediatric problems, such as infant colic and painful constipation.

Visceral Manipulation Therapy and Core Physical Therapy
Visceral manipulation therapy focuses on the gentle manipulation of internal organs to enhance mobility, reduce pain, and improve overall function. It addresses restrictions caused by stress, trauma, or inflammation, helping organs move freely and work more effectively.
This technique is often combined with core physical therapy for a comprehensive approach to recovery. Core physical therapy strengthens the muscles around the spine and abdomen, providing better support to the body’s core. Together, these therapies can enhance mobility, restore balance, and support long-term healing.
