Visceral:Areas of focus: the internal organs

A less well-known area of osteopathic work is with the internal organs.

The function of any organ is related to that of its container, the musculoskeletal system, and good health in the lungs, heart or digestive system relies on an efficient structure; likewise if there are restrictions in the movement or position of an internal organ (due perhaps to disease, operation scars or adhesions) there may be a reciprocal effect on the musculoskeletal system.

Assessment and treatment of internal organs is performed along the same lines as the cranial approach, usually in combination with it, and using gentle and subtle methods, to allow the tissues to respond at their own rate to enhance their potential for self-adjustment.
