Visceral Normalization
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 a membrane that surrounds the heart and serves to support it and hold it in place as it beats. This pericardium attaches to the cervical, dorsal, sternum, esophagus and thoracic diaphragm vertebrae. The therapist will therefore take care to first treat the attachment point (s) which are in a lesion situation in order then to normalize the tension of the pericardium and allow it to regain a balanced role. "Structure governs function". It is the same for all the viscera.
Visceral treatment can be helpful for issues such as:
Back pain
Heart burn
Frozen Shoulder
Digestive issues
Infertility
Constipation
Circulatory Issues
Visceral Normalization is a gentle, hands-on therapeutic approach that focuses on the mobility and mechanical health of the internal organs (viscera) and their connective tissue interfaces.
Restrictions within these systems — whether from chronic tension, old injury patterns, scar tissue, repetitive strain, or protective guarding — can impair:
✔ Organ mobility
✔ Surrounding connective tissue function
✔ Neuromuscular alignment
✔ Biomechanical efficiency
