How Visceral Mobilization Therapy Relieves Pain

Physiotherapy can reduce pain by releasing tension around your organ fascia

Have you been struggling with chronic back or neck pain? Did you know that your internal organs may be contributing to your pain?  At For Health’s Sake, our therapists can assess your condition and help you find relief once and for all! Your fascia is the network of connective tissue that surrounds your muscles, nerves, bones, joints, and organs. Restrictions in this interconnected system can cause pain in other parts of the body. The good news is that visceral mobilization therapy can help resolve your pain.

Physiotherapy at For Health’s Sake uses visceral mobilizations to help you find relief. Call us today to schedule an appointment. 

What is visceral mobilization therapy?

• Visceral manipulation is basically a massage for your organs!
• The organs live in the head (brain), chest (lungs, heart) and abdomen (stomach, kidneys, small intestine, large intestine, liver, gallbladder, etc.)
• Visceral manipulation is a very gentle technique that aims to connect the mind and body to help regulate the nervous system to calm the body
• Visceral manipulation is for EVERYONE. The organs are a very neglected, but very powerful part of the body to work with. It can help with low back pain, neck pain, mid back pain, shoulder pain, hip pain, pelvic pain, incontinence, stress reduction, general stiffness, breathing, blood flow, lymphatic flow, immune function and more!

Visceral mobility restrictions may be an underlying factor causing lower back pain and neck pain. Alterations in the mobility of the viscera can influence the mechanical and neural pathways resulting in lower back pain and neck pain.

Visceral mobilization therapy is a gentle form of manual therapy used to help your internal organs (viscera) move without restrictions. Disruption to the fascial system can lead to pain and limitations in normal daily activities.

How physiotherapy can help you find relief

At For Health’s Sake, our physiotherapists use visceral mobilization therapy to effectively reduce pain and improve overall mobility.

The fascial system serves to support the organs and connects them to the skeletal system. Restrictions in the fascial system lead to changes in movement to the surrounding structures which in turn leads to pain. 

Our specially trained therapists will assess and address movement restrictions involving your organs. By identifying the tension in the abdomen, and around the organs, your therapist will use this form of manual therapy to help relieve conditions like back pain and hip pain.

What to expect with physiotherapy 

At For Health’s Sake, our therapist will guide you through a treatment program to reduce your pain and improve your function. 

Our therapists will take a thorough history of your condition at your initial assessment and then take you through a physical examination to assess your individual needs. This assessment will help your therapists choose specific manual therapies, including visceral mobilizations, and targeted exercises that improve your function and provide lasting relief.
