In the 1970's French osteopath Jean-Pierre Barral discovered the continuous movement between the fascial tissues surrounding the internal organs (viscera) and their environment.
These tissues ensure the possibility to glide on one hand and on the other give sufficient stability to sustain coherence in the organ system as a whole.
In this way the body can move freely without causing irritation on the internal organs and the organs give the body the slack to do so.
Strains in the connective tissues can impair this freedom of movement. They can be the result for instance from surgical scars, infection, inflammation, adhesion, emotional charge or abnormal tension causing tensional patterns throughout the fascial network creating a cascade of effects both locally and far away from the initial source, all of which the body has to compensate for.
Barral's clinical work showed that techniques developed for the connective tissues around the viscera where equally effective in all other areas of the body as well resulting in a system that can assist the body to move as harmonious as possible in its totality.
During my sessions I combine both Bowen and visceral techniques depending on what is needed in the moment
Note: the visceral manual therapy should not be used to replace medical advice or treatment.
If there’s any doubt consult your physician.
