The term Visceral Mobilization was first coined and developed by Dr. Jean-Pierre Barral, DO. This gentle therapy technique targets specific organs and the surrounding connective tissue and works to break down harmful adhesions between the two structures. Somatic organs that may be targeted using this technique include bones, muscles, ligaments, or nerve vessels. Harmful restrictions between connective tissue and these organs may result from blows to the rib cage, motor vehicle accidents, surgery, illness, or other traumas.
