Why Visceral Manipulation?
Visceral Manipulation is a gentle, hands-on manual therapy approach that focuses on improving the mobility, tone, and function of internal organs and their connective tissues. By addressing restrictions within the visceral system, this technique supports overall body balance, posture, circulation, and musculoskeletal function. It is commonly used within wellness, osteopathic support, and holistic care settings.
This one-day workshop is designed to provide participants with foundational knowledge and practical skills to safely apply visceral manipulation techniques within a wellness-based scope of practice.
This workshop is ideal for Registered Massage Therapists, bodyworkers, osteopathy aides, myofascial practitioners, wellness practitioners, and healthcare support professionals interested in a deeper, integrative manual therapy approach. No prior visceral manipulation experience is required.
