PELVIC & PAIN DISORDERS: 

Visceral Manipulation is a therapeutic approach to relieving abnormal tissue tensions of and around your organs thereby promoting and improving organ function.  The basic philosophy of Visceral Manipulation is that an organ in good health has good movement.

If a tissue becomes fixed or adhered, it will become a point of chronic irritation.  Other tissues will pivot around that point in an effort to adapt to it.  Their function will become adhered as well.  Altered motion creates organ dysfunction.  Adhesions can form between organs and the surrounding tissues which also attach to your bones.  A long -standing adhesion can cause a chronic tension on the spine creating back pain, shoulder pain and/or neck tension.

Meredith will perform Visceral Manipulation by listening to your organ function, heat, movement and lack of movement with a trained hand and thorough knowledge of anatomy and physiology.  Additionally, Meredith listens for abnormal tissue tone and lines of tension, following these influences throughout your body.  Specifically applied maneuvers forces these tensions to release.  By encouraging normal organ function through the restoration of proper motion, organ function is enhanced and the body can regain optimal health.

You can expect to feel an increased awareness of an existing area of discomfort that you already have.  Sometimes symptoms are recreated before they go away. Many times Visceral Manipulation is only experienced as an improvement in body function and a feeling of well being.
