In Visceral Osteopathy the same principles of Osteopathy are applied to the organs and viscerae (hollow organs e.g. stomach). The body is very interconnected for example the abdomen and its contents are directly attached to the skeleton and the myo-fascial network of the body. It’s common for a musculo-skeletal aches and pains to be directly related to improper organ function.
Visceral Osteopathy addresses the root cause of the problem rather than the referred pain and is often hugely successful at treating back or neck pain, headache or knee pain without directly touching the site of the pain.
Osteopaths will often begin with a light touch massage in order to detect restrictions in the ligaments of an organ. They will then gently encourage the ligaments to release their tension and return the organ to it’s normal state of movement and function.
Visceral Osteopathy can profoundly effect the nervous system and digestive system and is very successful in treating conditions such as Headaches, Migraines, Constipation, Stress/Anxiety, Sciatica, Scar tissue and Whiplash.

He continues to specialize in this field with regular ongoing development and training.
