🌿 Visceral Manipulation and Digestive Health 🌿

Functional dyspepsia—often experienced as bloating, early fullness, or upper abdominal discomfort—affects up to 15% of the population. A new systematic review highlights how Visceral Manipulation (VM) may help improve gastric motility, reduce hypersensitivity, and ease symptoms in those living with functional dyspepsia, with or without reflux. See full article here : https://bit.ly/4gFXMC2

✨ Visceral Manipulation works with the body to restore mobility and balance in the organs, potentially improving digestion and overall well-being.

Setting the Standard in Massage Therapy

When you choose a MANZ-registered therapist, you’re choosing someone who:

✔️ Meets nationally recognised education standards
✔️ Follows a clear scope of practice
✔️ Is accountable to a professional code of ethics
✔️ Completes ongoing professional development
✔️ Is part of a transparent complaints process

Not all Massage Therapists follow the same standards.
Our Members do, because our Clients’ wellbeing matters.

Look for the MANZ logo - it means more.

🌀 Struggling with Constipation? Visceral Manipulation May Help.

An estimated 4 million Americans deal with chronic constipation — the most common gastrointestinal complaint — often with limited relief from diet, laxatives, or exercise.

✨ According to Gastroenterology Advisor, Visceral Manipulation (VM) offers a gentle, hands-on manual therapy approach that targets the root causes — such as adhesions, inflammation, or organ mobility restrictions — which traditional treatments may not address.

🔍 Backed by clinical studies, VM has been shown to:
✔️ Improve bowel movement frequency
✔️ Decrease abdominal pain and bloating
✔️ Shorten colon transit time
✔️ Enhance overall quality of life

VM focuses on restoring natural motion and internal balance among the body’s organs — a holistic approach to better digestion and well-being.

Massage Aotearoa New Zealand (MANZ) was contacted by a member of the public seeking to verify whether a Massage Therapist was a current MANZ-registered practitioner. During this process, it came to light that the individual had presented a fraudulent Annual Practising Certificate (APC) — a document that had been altered from a legitimate version shared online. The original certificate dated back to 2017 and had been edited to appear current, with expiry dates changed to suggest validity through to 2026.

Any attempt to misrepresent registration or falsify official documentation is a breach of professional ethics and undermines public trust in our Industry. We advised the member of the public to cease communication with the individual involved and we attempted to report and follow up via X (formerly Twitter), where the communication took place. However, the account used to make contact appears to have been deleted before any action could be taken, and we were unable to identify or directly contact the individual involved. It’s unclear whether the account belonged to a real practitioner or was a misleading or automated profile. At this stage, we have no reason to believe this reflects a wider issue within the New Zealand Massage Therapy Industry. However, if you come across anything similar or have concerns about a therapist's claimed registration, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us!

If you are seeking to confirm whether a massage therapist is currently registered with MANZ, we recommend:

Checking our Find a Therapist directory for the most accurate list of registered Therapists or emailing us directly at admin@massageanz.org.nz as not all members share their details online in the public directory, so if you're unsure - we will gladly verify a therapist’s membership status.

We appreciate the vigilance of those who brought this matter to our attention and remain committed to protecting the integrity of our membership and the wellbeing of the public.

Our work is grounded in one core belief: healing is possible. With skilled, compassionate touch, we support the journey of those who continue to carry the weight of war—helping them reclaim calm, clarity, and connection.
