Proper quality and movement of the internal organs and their surrounding connective tissue are also important to consider, even when dealing with an orthopedic issue.

For example, the pericardium is the connective tissue that surrounds the heart and serves to support it and hold it in place as it beats. The pericardium attaches to the cervical spine, thoracic spine, sternum, esophagus and thoracic diaphragm. The therapist will therefore take care to first treat the attachment point (s): to normalize the tension of the pericardium and allow it to regain a balanced role. "Structure governs function". It is the same for all of the viscera.

Visceral treatment can be helpful for issues such as:

• Back pain

• Heart burn

• Frozen Shoulder

• Digestive issues

• Infertility

• Constipation

• Circulatory Issues
