Visceral Manipulation is a hands-on osteopathic approach that assesses and treats restrictions in the movement of internal organs (viscera) and their surrounding connective tissues.

​

When organs lose their natural mobility due to stress, surgery, inflammation, poor posture, or injury, it can contribute to pain, dysfunction, and postural imbalance elsewhere in the body. Visceral manipulation aims to gently release these restrictions and support the body’s natural healing process.

Visceral manipulation can support patients experiencing:

• Digestive discomfort (bloating, constipation, reflux)

• Abdominal or pelvic tension

• Lower back pain linked to visceral restrictions

• Post-surgical scar tissue and adhesions

• Menstrual discomfort

• Pelvic floor dysfunction

• Breathing restrictions

• Chronic stress-related tension

• Postural imbalance with no clear musculoskeletal cause

Using light, precise touch, the osteopath assesses the movement, rhythm, and tension of internal organs and surrounding tissues.

Techniques may include:

• Gentle organ mobilisation

• Fascial release

• Diaphragmatic release

• Scar tissue assessment

• Integration with musculoskeletal and postural treatment

Treatment is always gentle, non-invasive, and tailored to your comfort and condition.
