What Is Visceral Fascia Mobilisation?
Visceral fascia is the connective tissue surrounding and supporting your internal organs. Over time, restrictions in this tissue can lead to discomfort and reduced mobility. In some cases, it can even impact the function of nearby systems.
Visceral manipulation uses precise, hands-on techniques to release these restrictions, improving movement and reducing tension throughout the body.
