Visceral Treatment
What is viscera?

Why Might I Have Issues With This Area?
It is possible for the organs to show reduced movement from normal after trauma, for example, car crashes, falls off bikes, and sporting injuries. This can also be the case when people have been ill, or are systemically unwell, for example, with chronic fatigue, cystic fibrosis, or various gut issues. The viscera, particularly the gut, can go into spasm with conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome, chronic constipation or other bowel disorders.
Operations – i.e., to remove the appendix, or a Caesarean – result in scar tissue formation which is part of the normal healing process. It is possible for the scarring to bind to the tissues and other organs around it, which can cause pain, and dysfunctional movement. In particularly bad cases, it is possible for the scar to become so tight and tethered that posture is affected.
When the organs don’t move optimally, it can stop the body moving well, which can then cause pain. It can also cause irritation of the nerves to certain areas, resulting in referred pain elsewhere, via the nervous system.
What Are Indications For Treatment?
It can be useful when other more mainstream techniques have not worked, and if visceral dysfunction is the root cause of your pain, then it is important to address this, to help achieve lasting results. We use visceral treatment as an adjunct to other techniques that we use.
