Visceral osteopathy

A manual therapy method that works with the internal organs. It restores the organs’ natural mobility and improves their function.

Tension that builds up in the internal organs can disturb not only the digestive system but the balance of the whole body. Visceral osteopathy reduces the tension around the organs with gentle yet effective hands-on techniques and activates blood and lymph flow.

When is it beneficial?

  • Gastrointestinal disorders — constipation, bloating, reflux, gastritis
  • Dropped stomach (gastroptosis)
  • Bile stasis, gallbladder discomfort
  • Gynecological problems — painful periods, endometriosis, adhesions
  • Urinary tract problems — cystitis, frequent urination
  • Low back and spinal pain caused by tension in the internal organs
  • A feeling of tightness in the abdomen after surgery or childbirth

If you wake up in the morning with low back pain, X-rays and MRI show no pathology, yet the pain does not go away — the cause may be linked to the digestive system. The body is a single system: dysfunction in one area shows up as pain somewhere else entirely.

When should you consider it?

  • Gastroptosis (dropped stomach)
  • Constipation, bloating, reflux
  • Uterine prolapse
  • Low back pain with no identified cause
  • Recovery after childbirth and surgery
