VISCERAL MANIPULATION

MRI studies have confirmed that internal organs of the body have two innate motions: intrinsic, which refers to the movements they undergo in performing their  various functions, and extrinsic, which refers to their movements in relation to the structures around them. At times, these motions are disrupted, and the disruption impairs the organs' ability to perform at their optimum. Organs are attached to other structures which support them and hold them in place by ligaments. For example, the liver is attached to the diaphragm. Other organs are attached to an inner lining of the body wall. The supporting ligaments have contractile properties. A contracted ligament can impede the normal motion of the organ it supports. Typical treatments involve liver, gall bladder, stomach, kidneys, various valves and the return of perisalsis to portions of the large and small intestines.
