Visceral Manipulation

At Connecta Health, we provide a variety of manual therapy techniques suited to orthopedic, digestive, and women's health complaints.

Manual therapies are skilled hand movements designed to improve soft tissue restrictions and joint range of motion, reduce pain and inflammation and change muscular and organ function.

Visceral Manipulation

Visceral manipulation is a gentle manual therapy that works with your body's internal anatomy and the nervous system to improve function, decrease pain and restore mobility. Soft hand placements are used to encourage mobility, tone and motion of the internal organs (viscera) and the connective tissue and ligaments to various systems in the body, allowing a neurological response to happen

Myofascial Release

Trauma or inflammation can create a binding down of soft tissues that can result in excessive pressure on nerves, muscles, blood vessels, bones or organs. Over time, trauma — whiplash, surgery or poor posture — can accumulate, producing pain, inflammation, headaches or restricted motion.

Myofascial Release (MFR) works with your connective tissues to decrease pain and restore proper range of motion and function.

Dynamic Fascial Cupping

Dynamic Fascial Cupping is the use of soft or hard silicone cups to increase circulation — by creating a vacuum and gliding them along the tissues of the body — this technique helps create better mobility in the tissue layers and decreases pain.

Benefits

Manual therapies help to improve digestion and GI function, reduce pelvic pain/PMS symptoms, improve joint function and mobility, alleviate pain and reduce neurological symptoms.

Digestive health is a key part of overall health. Addressing GI dysfunction can have a positive impact on not only physical health but also mental and emotional health. Without a properly functioning digestive system, our bodies can struggle to perform.

What to expect during a session

Depending on each individual's comfort level and symptoms, treatments may be clothed — stretchy tank tops and shorts are recommended — or draped with linens. Visceral manipulation techniques require access to the abdomen. Myofascial release and cupping techniques are performed directly on the skin.
