By definition, a visceral manipulation massage is a slow and gentle process of massaging the viscera, or internal organs, to promote better function, reduce pain, and increase mobility. Sometimes internal organs, such as the kidneys and the stomach, will hold onto stress which can cause nerves to lock up.
When this happens, visceral manipulation brings natural movement through the organs and produces better blood flow to the viscera, resulting in overall better health.
What Kinds of Health Issues Can a Visceral Manipulation Massage Help Cure?
Digestive disorders are the most common ailments treated with visceral manipulation. Bloating, constipation, severe menstrual cramps, nausea, acid reflux, and esophageal issues sometimes require gentle massages in circular motions to bring movement and function back into your body.
These movements break up scar tissue, stimulate the fibers of visceral nerves, and prepare your body to better cope with health issues.
Other Health Ailments That Visceral Manipulation Could Help with Include:
- Sports injuries, such as whiplash, sprains, and sore muscles.
- Men’s health problems, such as swollen prostate, pelvic pain, and testicular pain.
- Women’s health issues, such as endometriosis, ovarian cysts, and menopausal symptoms.
- Post-operative scar tissue buildup.
- Pediatric problems, such as infant colic and painful constipation.

Visceral Manipulation Massage Can Improve Your Mental Health as Well
Your mental health and physical health affect one another. When you feel bad about your body, your mental health will suffer. When you are coping with mental illnesses, such as anxiety and depression, your physical health becomes less important.
A visceral manipulation massage can help you restore focus and the connection between your body and mind. Stress comes from the mind but builds within your body, becoming trapped in your nerves and muscles. The act of slow, gentle strokes on your skin, muscles, and viscera provides a release of endorphins that allow your body to let go of stress and begin healing from the inside out.Â
