Visceral Manipulation
Abdominal therapy focused on releasing deep visceral (organ) restrictions to improve alignment, movement, and overall function.
Gentle, Precise Abdominal Therapy for Deep, Lasting Relief
Sometimes pain and tension run deeper than muscles. You might stretch, strengthen, and get regular massages, yet something still feels “stuck.”
That’s often where Visceral Manipulation comes in—a gentle, hands-on therapy designed to restore natural movement and balance to the organs and surrounding connective tissues.
Our organs—like the stomach, liver, intestines, and bladder—are meant to move with every breath and every step. But life happens. Surgery, injury, posture, stress, or even past inflammation can create restrictions in the fascia that surrounds these organs.
When that internal movement is limited, the body compensates. The result? Discomfort, pain, and patterns that traditional massage alone may not fully resolve.
Visceral Manipulation works by gently mobilizing the internal structures of the body—helping organs glide freely again and improving how they interact with nearby muscles, joints, and fascia.
This light, precise technique often brings relief to issues like chronic low back pain, hip restriction, shoulder tension, digestive discomfort, menstrual pain, and post-surgical adhesions.
Clients are often surprised at how such a subtle treatment can create such profound change.
During a session, you’ll remain comfortably dressed as your practitioner uses gentle touch to “listen” to the body’s natural rhythms and identify areas of restriction. The work is never forceful—instead, it supports your body’s innate ability to self-correct and rebalance.
Many clients describe feeling lighter, more open, and deeply relaxed afterward, often noticing changes that continue to unfold over the following days.
Visceral Manipulation is beneficial for anyone dealing with chronic pain, limited mobility, digestive issues, or lingering tension that doesn’t respond to traditional therapy.
Safe for those with abdominal hernia and Diastasis Recti, Visceral Manipulation is highly supportive for postpartum recovery, C-section scar healing, and individuals recovering from abdominal surgery.
By restoring movement and communication between internal systems, the entire body can function more efficiently and with greater ease.
At my Montclair, NJ studio, Visceral Manipulation is often combined with therapeutic massage and corrective movement to support whole-body integration.
Whether your goal is pain relief, better movement, or simply feeling more connected to your body, this gentle yet powerful approach helps you create real, lasting change from the inside out.
