Visceral Manipulation/Craniosacral Therapy

Visceral Manipulation encourages your body to improve the functioning of your organs, dissipate the negative effects of stress, and enhance mobility of the musculoskeletal system. This gentle manual therapy can potentially improve the functioning of individual organs and the body as a whole. Visceral manipulation is based on specific placement of manual forces to encourage homeostasis of viscera, fascia, and connective tissues. 

Craniosacral therapists use soft touch to evaluate and enhance functioning of the body’s craniosacral system. Through releasing fascial restriction in and around the central nervous system, this therapy can help with depression, anxiety, PTSD and overall physical health. Patients often report an immediate deep sense of relaxation during Craniosacral Therapy. 

Both Visceral Manipulation and Craniosacral Therapy are thought to improve health through boosting inherent self-healing mechanisms. At Emerald City Clinic, Visceral Manipulation and Craniosacral Therapy are often used in conjunction to treat a wide array of conditions.
