At Solihull Osteopathic Practice, we offer a wide range of osteopathic techniques designed to support your whole-body health. One of the most specialised and powerful approaches we use is visceral treatment—a gentle, hands-on therapy that focuses on improving the function and mobility of your internal organs.
In this blog, we’ll explain what visceral treatment is, how it works, and why it plays a vital role in osteopathic care at Solihull Osteopathic Practice.
What Is Visceral Treatment?
Visceral treatment, also known as visceral osteopathy, is a manual therapy that works with the body’s internal organs, including the liver, stomach, kidneys, bladder, intestines, and uterus. These organs move naturally within the body, and their mobility is essential for optimal function.
When normal movement is restricted—due to surgery, stress, illness, inflammation, or injury—it can lead to a wide range of symptoms. At Solihull Osteopathic Practice, we use visceral treatment to gently release restrictions, restore natural motion, and support the overall health of the body.
What Conditions Can Visceral Treatment Help With?
Many people are surprised to learn that internal organ restrictions can contribute to musculoskeletal pain, postural problems, and even emotional tension. At Solihull Osteopathic Practice, we use visceral osteopathy to address a variety of conditions, including:
- Digestive issues (bloating, constipation, IBS)
- Menstrual pain or pelvic discomfort
- Post-surgical adhesions
- Lower back and hip pain
- Stress-related tension in the abdomen
- Breathing difficulties linked to diaphragm tension
- Chronic fatigue or general discomfort
Because the internal organs are closely connected to the muscles, spine, and nervous system, improving organ mobility can have a profound effect on how you feel throughout your entire body.
How We Deliver Visceral Treatment at Solihull Osteopathic Practice
During your session at Solihull Osteopathic Practice, your osteopath will use gentle, specific hand movements to assess and treat areas of tension or imbalance in the abdomen. This approach is non-invasive, calming, and suitable for people of all ages.
Our practitioners are highly trained in visceral techniques and will tailor your treatment to your unique health needs. Whether you’re coming in for a specific issue or simply want to support your general wellbeing, visceral osteopathy can be a key part of your personalised care plan.
