Visceral Osteopathy
Visceral Osteopathy alleviates functional and structural imbalances throughout the body. These include musculoskeletal, vascular, nervous, urogenital, respiratory, digestive and lymphatic dysfunction. It evaluates and treats the dynamics of motion and suspension in relation to organs, membranes, fascia and ligaments.
Viscera and Pain
It is known that musculoskeletal pain can be referred from the viscera.
It is easy to understand the link between the organs and the spine just by considering their position; the throat is in line with and attached to our cervical spine, the lungs with the thoracic spine and the digestive tract with the lumbar spine.
These structures have ligaments that keep them in their optimal location and the function of these ligaments is crucial for the correct functioning of both the spine and the organs.
When to Consider
There are a lot of symptoms which are related to the organs and need visceral treatment.
The osteopath will not focus only on the symptom or pain area. He/she will treat the entire body: the musculoskeletal, craniosacral and visceral systems.
Osteopathy supports self-healing.
