Understanding Organ Mobility

Viscera, or the majority of internal organs such as: liver, heart, lungs, intestines, kidneys, bladder, all have their own unique movement pattern. We do to usually feel these movements but when you stop and think about it, you realize they must.  The heart beats 50-100 times a minute.  Each time it beats it affects the tissues and fluids around it. You breath 12-20 times a minute and every time your lungs expand and release they also alter the internal environment of our bodies. Our intestines have movement called peristalsis which moves our waste out of our system. All of these movements are occurring constantly and add up to thousands of fine internal movements a day. These movements work together to create harmony when working correctly. If however, there is dis-ease or injury ,the movements can be altered and we can suffer from visceral congestion, visceral tension, and visceral imbalances. This may often lead to issues such as fatigue, digestive issues, anxiety, headaches, and dysfunction in entirely unrelated areas due to the immobility of internal organs, caused by stress, injury, or surgery. Visceral manipulation massage is focused on releasing the stress of these organs.

Through gentle manual manipulation, the visceral therapist helps ease pain, tension, pulling, and muscle spasms, guiding your body toward greater comfort and relief. The goal is to reduce discomfort and support your body’s natural ability to heal, helping you feel more at ease and aligned.

What Happens During a Visceral Manipulation Massage Session?

This non-invasive therapy begins with a discussion about your current symptoms, history, and goals. While you remain fully clothed and relaxed, the practitioner uses light touch to detect and release areas of restriction or imbalance within the body’s internal network. You practitioner may expose your abdomen and pelvic region by adjusting your loose clothing up or down to best reach the organs and areas needed. You may feel warmth, subtle movement, release of tension you were unaware of, or a sense of deep relaxation as the body unwinds layers of tension and regains ease in its natural motions.

Why Choose Visceral Work?

The abdominal viscera is responsible for the proper functioning of your respiratory, digestive, reproductive, immune systems, and hormonal response. Our organs are in constant motion — expanding, contracting, and gliding with the breath and more. There are complex mechanisms at work that bind various systems, every organ is further connected to various subsystems.

When tension, trauma, or illness restricts that motion, it can affect posture, circulation, digestion, and even mood. Visceral manipulation massage therapy gently restores balance and gives the body space to heal and self-regulate.

Conditions Treatable by Visceral Manipulation

Visceral manipulation massage therapy works to help your internal organs glide smoothly within your body. These organs, which were subdued due to restriction in mobility, are able to perform as necessary, treating multiple issues, such as:

  • Abdominal bloating or pain with no clear GI diagnosis
  • Pelvic discomfort, particularly post-surgery or postpartum
  • Shallow breathing, spinal stiffness, or rib immobility
  • Emotional dysregulation linked to gut tension
  • Health issues particular to women
  • Acute disorders such as whiplash, headaches, sports injuries, etc.

Post-treatment, many people reported improvement in many issues that they had been facing. Visceral therapists can work to aid healing of the ailments gently from within, offering a lasting solution.
