Did you know that osteopaths can treat the visceral area? ‼️
What is visceral osteopathy exactly? It regroups a whole bunch of techniques that act on your organs (diaphragm, stomach, intestines, lungs, heart, colon, kidney, etc).
Your organs attach to your bones and other organs via ligaments and fascia, and they’re innervated by the nerves that come from your spine and head.
You can have direct pain in the visceral area, you can have what we call referred pain or you can even experience emotional pain.
Just like any body part, there can be tension in those areas, and that tension needs to be worked on.
Tension around the stomach can cause back pain
Tension around the colon can cause sciatica
Tension around the liver can cause shoulder pain
What are some examples and indications to treat the visceral are?
- Digestive issues (constipation, diarrhea, reflux, bloating, slow digestion…)
- Swollen limbs
- Neck, back, shoulder, hip pains
- Nerve pain
- Stress, emotional trauma
- After a surgery on the area
- Organ prolapse (bladder, colon, uterus, kidney)
