Visceral treatment was designed by the French Osteopath, Jean-Pierre Barral who was awarded one of six best researchers for Alternative Medicine in the millennium, by TIME Magazine. Visceral disfunction has been found to have a link with back pain and posture issues in more than 70% of patients.
Barral’s techniques are now in the basic training of osteopathy in Europe and include both direct or indirect delicate techniques, which is to go slowly into the dysfunction until the neutral point where there is no tension, from this point the alive tissue relax on its own, at the opposite direct like stretching.
