It utilizes the light application of specifically directed pressures to attain unrestricted movement and to normalize tone and function of the organ, its ligaments and surrounding connective tissues. Visceral mobilization locates the origin of the problem and addresses it specifically. Restrictions in movement may occur due to traumatic injury, strain, repetitive mechanical or physiological stress. Excessive tightness of the organ tissue, deviations from normal resting positions of the organ and abnormal associations (adhesions) between organs and their connective tissues, may produce tissue strain, at times in areas quite distant from the restriction. Due to the relationship between movement of the viscera and various elements of musculoskeletal system, visceral restrictions can cause postural deviations, chronic pain and limitations in mobility of the joints of the spine and extremities. Joint mobility problems and pain can persist or worsen despite intensive treatment for this area because it is caused by restricted mobility of an internal organ. In cases like this, traditional physical therapy will only partially be effective, generating some improvement but with recurrence of symptoms because the treatment is focused on the symptoms of the chain of dysfunction, not the cause of it. Visceral Manipulation techniques are extremely effective following abdominal or thoracic surgery, traumatic injuries, thoracic outlet syndrome, shoulder pain, low back pain, respiratory and abdominal infections, chronic gastro-intestinal tract disorders, stress incontinence and following pregnancy and childbirth. At Power in Motion, we enhance the recovery of our patients by skillfully utilizing a wide variety of Manual Physical Therapy techniques. With a preference for Integrative Manual Therapy as a most effective therapeutic approach, we continuously broaden and advance our training.
