Visceral Manipulation Massage | Unlock deeper healing and harmony in Vancouver

What Is Visceral Manipulation (VM) Massage?

The word 'Viscera' correlates to the internal organs of the body, such as the liver, kidneys, and intestines. A Visceral Manipulation is also known as ‘VM’, is a form of gentle manual therapy that supports your body's ability to release restrictions and unhealthy compensations that might be causing pain and dysfunction.

A therapist will use touch in altered motion within the viscera in definitive patterns around the body to help distinguish the right course of action before using Visceral Manipulation techniques to help re-establish the body's own ability to restore itself to health.

The Benefits Of Visceral Manipulation Massage

A visceral Manipulation is a form of therapy to help give your organs a sufficient amount of space and mobility to perform their functions. The therapist will rely on their sense of touch to palpitate the organs without disrupting other nerves or vessels in the area as they have their own sense of flow. 

If you want to improve your digestion or circulation system, then visceral Manipulation could be an option to consider. Research has shown that this practice could be beneficial for various health issues, such as:

• Digestive disorders (nausea, constipation, bloating);

• Acute disorders (abdominal or chest injuries, concussions, brain injuries);

• Headaches, migraines;

• Joint and neck pain;

• Anxiety issues, depression, PTSD.

How Many Sessions Would It Take?

In all cases of treatment, each person's situation is different, so the number of visits will vary. In some cases, people will experience significant improvement within three to five therapy sessions, while others may need additional treatment.

After your first appointment with your practitioner, they will explain a plan based on your first treatment and how your body responded to the treatment.
