Visceral Osteopathy
Focused on healing organs and viscera, improving their function through manipulation.
How is the treatment of visceral osteopathy in practice?
At Osteópata Palma we apply visceral osteopathy by working the organs and viscera in a functional way with gentle maneuvers. We look for the injury (tension or blockage) and manually relax and release it.
What is Visceral Osteopathy and how does it work?
The organs or viscera are attached to each other and to other structures in our body through ligaments, membranes (fasciae).
Each viscera or organ has a natural movement (motility) necessary for it to correctly perform its function. When there are tensions due to stress or a bad position of the viscera (for example, when there is scoliosis the organs that are on the more closed side of the spine will be more compressed because they do not have space to move well) the organs or viscera lose that motility and they are blocked, so they will not be able to perform their function well.
It is said that an organ is dysfunctional when there is no pathology (it is not sick) but it does not “work” well and this generates symptoms in the patient.
What problems can Visceral Osteopathy help me with?
Many pains that take time to resolve have a visceral cause, which could be resolved by treating the corresponding viscera.
- Digestive problems: hiatal hernia, stomach pain or heartburn, constipation, frequent diarrhea, hemorrhoids ...
- Gynecological problems: pain in menstruation, pain in intercourse, fertility problems, endometriosis ...
- Distant pain: cervical, dorsal or lumbar spine, shoulder pain ...
- Tiredness; stress, irritability ...

Elisabeth Modalen
Registered Osteopath ROE no. 818
I am an osteopath with a bachelor degree in Osteopathy from the University of Oslo. I´m specialized in joint mobilization that is out of alignment, and spinal integration and alignment as all musculo-skeletal tissues dis-eased are interconnected; in this way I can relieve pain caused by inflammation and tensed muscles. I focus on building a positive relationship with my patients as I believe it will have an important impact on the outcome of the treatment.
