How Visceral
Osteopathy Helps

Visceral osteopathy focuses on the relationship between your organs, muscles, and body structure. Just as muscles can become tense and restricted, your internal organs can also develop areas of tension or reduced mobility. This can affect their function and cause various symptoms.

Our gentle techniques work to release these restrictions, helping your organs work more efficiently and comfortably.

Our Treatment Approach

Visceral osteopathy uses extremely gentle techniques to work with your internal organs. Each organ has its optimal position and movement pattern within your body. When these are disrupted - perhaps by illness, injury, or prolonged strain - it can affect how well the organ functions. Our treatment helps:

  • Release tissue tension around organs
  • Improve organ mobility
  • Enhance blood flow
  • Support lymphatic drainage
  • Restore natural organ position
  • Improve overall function

What to Expect
from Treatment

During visceral osteopathy treatment, you'll lie comfortably while the osteopath uses gentle hands-on techniques to assess and treat your organs and surrounding tissues. The treatment is very subtle - you might feel gentle pressure or movement, and many patients find it deeply relaxing.

We'll explain what we're doing throughout the session and ensure you're comfortable at all times.
