What is Visceral Manual Therapy?
Visceral manual therapy (also known as visceral manipulation) is one of the oldest natural healing methods used in many societies. It is a method of healing the body in order to bring it back into balance so it can fight against stress and illness more effectively. It has become increasingly popular in the West as many people are relying on more holistic healing methods to achieve optimal health.
A Natural Approach
People often rely on synthetic drugs when they feel ill, but these often come with undesired side effects. In addition, they often only address the symptoms rather than heal the root of the problem. Illnesses often originate from the body’s internal organs, or the visceral parts, which become stressed, tense and unhealthy. This causes an imbalance that spreads throughout the whole body.
How VM Therapy Works
VM therapy is a method of assessing the whole body in order to identify the specific areas that are causing problems. The VM therapist gently applies pressure, rubbing, and massaging the whole body with a focus on specific areas where problems are located. This process releases tension and any restrictions that the organs are experiencing so that their own ability to heal themselves may be gently stimulated.
Benefits of Visceral Manipulation
VM therapy has a multitude of benefits. It is a wonderful way to detoxify your body by improving your blood circulation and moving impurities away from vital body systems. It improves tone and keeps your internal systems moving smoothly so toxins and other impurities do not get stuck in one place. The body has its own way of removing and draining toxins out of the visceral systems. VM therapy will keep this system moving and balanced.
Your neural systems can also benefit because there is a complex interconnection of your neural network to every single organ of your body. Your nervous system controls the release of body chemicals that control how your body and mind function. By applying VM therapy to the outer skin where the neural points are, they are stimulated to release the right body chemicals that keep the functions of your organs in balance. Any areas that are not balanced become normalized so the healing process can begin.
Does VM Therapy Really Work?
This method really works because it strengthens the body’s natural healing abilities so it functions in the way that is intended. Unlike taking drugs, it has no side effects. Common ailments like constipation, cramps, and digestive problems can be relieved by VM therapy.
What Does it Feel like?
You might wonder how you feel when this therapy is being administered. It is similar to a massage. When the therapist identifies the specific areas where there are problems, this area will be tender. As the therapist applies gentle pressure and massages this area, it might be a bit uncomfortable for you initially. However, with each treatment, your body continues to heal. As you go through your therapy sessions, you will feel less and less pain until you are pain-free.
Should I Try VM Therapy?
Before you consider VM therapy, you should consult with your primary care doctor first. If there are significant health conditions like pregnancy, tumors, or other serious health conditions, VM therapy may not be appropriate.
However, if there are no existing health conditions that are contraindicated, visceral manual therapy can be a great way for you to achieve total body health.
