Visceral Osteopathy looks at how well the organs of the body are doing. There are several important issues which visceral osteopathy addresses. It is best described like this. For all intents and purposes our organs are structurally like sponges. They are designed to absorb via its blood supply oxygen, nutrients and other chemical elements (e.g., hormones, calcium etc,). Then excrete via the blood supply, lymphatic supply or urinary system, carbon dioxide, waste products and other chemical elements again. Without going into the biochemical causes of organ dysfunction, and putting it simply, there are 4 main ways in which the function of an organ can be impaired or dysregulated and they are as follows:
Another very important point that is often forgotten in try to find the cause of a strain or pain is the fact that our musculoskeletal framework is designed to protect organs. If an organ is not able to “happily do its sponging process” the muscles of the body will contract around it. This is often one of the root causes of musculoskeletal strain.
Visceral osteopathy addresses all these issues, often relieving the root cause of problems and pain in the body.
