Research Alert: Visceral manual therapy as an intervention for musculoskeletal disorders: A scoping review

A newly published scoping review in the Journal of Bodywork & Movement Therapies (2025) evaluated the effectiveness of Visceral Manual Therapy (VMT) for chronic low back, shoulder, and cervical pain.

This research is particularly relevant to Barral Visceral Manipulation because it acknowledges Jean-Pierre Barral’s work as foundational to modern Visceral Manipulation and distinguishes the organ-specific, precision-based approach from more generalized abdominal techniques.

​This growing body of research continues to highlight the powerful relationship between visceral mobility and musculoskeletal function.

✨ Research on Visceral Manipulation & Women’s Health

A 2025 study published in the Journal of Clinical Medicine found that five weekly sessions of Visceral Manipulation significantly​ help improve quality of life in women with endometriosis (p = 0.0001) and pelvic organ prolapse (p = 0.0093)

The connection between the sphenoid and the pelvis is fascinating to me.

Both act as foundational, central structures. The sphenoid connects to almost all cranial bones (the "keystone" of the skull), while the sacrum acts as the keystone of the pelvic girdle.

The cranial dura mater attaches to the sphenoid and spans down the spinal cord to attach to the sacrum, directly linking the movement of the sphenoid to the movement of the pelvis (cranio-sacral sphenoid (specifically via the pterygoids and jaw) is connected to the pelvis through deep myofascial lines. A, for instance, a twisted pelvis often mirrors a twisted, restricted sphenoid, causing, for example, a left-sided pelvic tilt (left-sided AIC pattern) associated with a specific right-sided rotation of the sphenoid.

The sphenoid houses the pituitary gland (reproduction) and affects the nervous system, while the pelvis houses the reproductive organs and contains significant nerve plexuses, linking their functional roles.

Cranial practitioners often treat both areas to address chronic pain. For example, releasing a tight TMJ (connected to the sphenoid) can help release a tight pelvic floor, because these, along with the piriformis, are considered major balancing points of the body.

Coming this fall I’ll be adding a new modality to my practice. I’m excited to learn this new technique.
