The Gap in Pain Research… and How Barral Manual Therapies Help Bridge It

Research is revealing the body’s connective tissues, fascia, organs, and nerves play a major role in musculoskeletal pain.

Langevin’s article highlights the need to reconnect the brain with the body

Barral Institute therapies—Visceral Manipulation, Neural Manipulation, and Manual Articular Approach—support this integrative model.
✔ The mechanical behavior of fascia
✔ How restrictions alter movement and posture
✔ How inflammation and tissue tension drive neural sensitization
✔ How nerves, organs, and musculoskeletal structures interact

When pain isn’t “just in the brain,” we need approaches that treat the whole person.

Ready to go beyond the abdomen?

In VM4: The Thorax, you’ll explore the intricate relationship between the thoracic organs, fascia, and musculoskeletal system — and how it all supports breath, circulation, and movement.

VM4 dives into:

🫁 The pleura, lungs, heart, and mediastinum
🩻 The biomechanics of the rib cage, sternum & shoulder girdle
💆 Techniques to address the thoracic inlet, hyoid apparatus & more

You’ll refine your palpation skills, expand your anatomical understanding, and learn how to differentiate between somatic and visceral origins of dysfunction in the thorax.

A published study comparing treatment approaches for hip pain found that systemic manual therapy protocols—including Barral-inspired techniques focused on decongestion, neural desensitization, and visceral mobility—were more effective than exercise alone.

These findings echo what Barral-trained therapists see every day:
When you restore fluid movement, reduce protective tension, and address the deeper patterns influencing the hip and pelvis, the body responds with improved mobility and meaningful pain relief.

A powerful validation for hands-on, whole-body manual therapy!

✨ Manual therapy matters.
✨ The body responds when we listen to it.
✨ And Barral techniques continue to lead the way in integrative, whole-body care.
