Visceral Manipulation (VM) was developed by world-renowned French Osteopath and Physical Therapist Jean-Pierre Barral. VM is beneficial for many disorders as you can see in Conditions We Treat. This treatment focuses on assisting functional and structural imbalances in the body that can include: musculoskeletal, vascular, nervous, urogenital, respiratory, digestive and lymphatic dysfunction. It includes an integrative approach to evaluation and treatment incorporating relationships of organ systems and fascial connections. VM can often be helpful as adjunct to conventional physical therapy, with gastrointestinal disorders or symptoms, and chronic pain as well as other conditions. Energetic balancing assists to release built up tensions and stress patterns associate with physical, emotional, mental experiences. These also can manifest in our structural and functional make-up leading to pain and limitations to movement.  To find out more click the links to the Barral and D'Ambrogio Institute websites.
