Explanation
Visceral osteopathic treatments are frequently employed to enhance the function and mobility of the body’s internal organs. Your Osteopath in Muscat will utilize various techniques to release tension from different tissues in the area (tendons, joints, ligaments, fascia, arteries, nerves) to restore mobility of the various organs, thereby promoting their function.
For example, during breathing, the stomach undergoes a clockwise rotation due to the mobility of the diaphragm muscle and tension in ligaments. This rotational mobility facilitates the mixing of food bolus and enzymes, initiating digestion. Any interference in this mobility can reduce functionality.
Treatments
Digestive disorders
Visceral osteopathy can address a range of digestive issues such as bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhea, and appetite disturbances. By working on surrounding anatomical structures and promoting better mobility of digestive organs, osteopathy can help improve digestive function and alleviate associated symptoms.
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
For individuals suffering from IBS, characterized by abdominal pain, intestinal transit disturbances, and bloating, visceral osteopathy can provide relief by reducing tensions and improving intestinal motility.
Urinary system dysfunction
Visceral treatments can also be beneficial for urinary system problems like recurrent urinary infections, micturition issues, and pelvic pain. By addressing pelvic structures and urinary organs, osteopathy can contribute to restoring balance and improving urinary function.
Pelvic and menstrual pain
Women experiencing pelvic or menstrual pain can also benefit from visceral osteopathy. By working on anatomical structures around the uterus and pelvic organs, osteopathy can help reduce tensions and improve blood circulation, thereby relieving pain and enhancing comfort during menstruation.
Postural realignment and chronic tensions
Visceral tensions can sometimes contribute to postural imbalances and chronic tensions in other parts of the body. By releasing tensions and restoring the mobility of internal organs, visceral osteopathy can contribute to rebalancing the body as a whole and relieving associated tensions.
It is important to note that visceral osteopathy is generally practiced within a holistic treatment approach, often in collaboration with other specialists, followed by lifestyle advice aimed at promoting overall health and well-being.
