What Is Visceral Manipulation?
Visceral Manipulation is a specialised manual therapy that involves gentle, precise pressure techniques to support the natural mobility and motion of the body’s internal organs. Developed by French osteopath Jean-Pierre Barral, this therapy identifies areas of restriction and uses subtle movements to restore natural function.
It works by improving the relationship between the organs and the surrounding muscles, fascia, nerves, and bones – allowing for better fluidity, alignment, and communication across body systems.
The Benefits of Visceral Manipulation
Many of our clients experience powerful changes after just a few sessions. Reported benefits include:
- Relief from chronic abdominal or pelvic pain
- Improved digestion and bowel function
- Better breathing and posture
- Reduced musculoskeletal discomfort
- Enhanced nervous system regulation, eg anxiety
- Support for trauma release and emotional tension
- Fewer recurring injuries due to improved internal mobility
Whether you’ve had surgery, sports injuries, accidents or long-term stress that your body hasn’t quite bounced back from, this therapy offers a reset from the inside out.
Who Is It For?
Our Visceral Manipulation massage in Edinburgh is suitable for:
- People with chronic or mysterious pain
- Post-surgical recovery (abdominal, pelvic, spinal)
- Digestive complaints, IBS, or bloating
- Musculoskeletal pain with no clear diagnosis
- Those with trauma history or tension patterns
- Clients wanting a deeper approach to whole-body healing
We adapt the treatment to your comfort and needs. It’s particularly beneficial if traditional methods have failed to bring long-term relief.

- A comprehensive consultation
- Gentle palpation to identify tension patterns
- Precise manual techniques, including those on the abdomen, head, chest, or pelvis
