Experience Lasting Relief with Visceral and Neural Manipulation

Pain often stems from hidden restrictions in the organs or nervous system. Myofascial Release, combined with Jean-Pierre Barral’s visceral and neural manipulation techniques, targets these deeper areas to resolve the root cause of discomfort. Whether it's addressing liver restrictions linked to back or leg pain or freeing the fascia around the brachial plexus to ease shoulder tension, this specialized approach restores movement and reduces pain for lasting relief.

Discover Visceral and Neural Manipulation

Visceral Manipulation

Visceral manipulation focuses on the internal organs (viscera) and their surrounding connective tissue. It aims to improve the mobility, tone, and function of these organs by addressing any restrictions, adhesions, or imbalances that may develop from trauma, surgery, poor posture, or stress. By restoring optimal movement and alignment of the organs, visceral manipulation can help with a wide range of issues, such as:


  • Digestive disturbances (e.g., constipation, bloating)
  • Respiratory problems
  • Pelvic discomfort
  • Chronic pain (e.g., back, neck, or abdominal pain)
  • Menstrual issues
  • Post-surgical adhesions

Neural Manipulation

Neural manipulation, on the other hand, focuses on the nervous system, specifically the peripheral nerves. It helps release tension or compression around nerves that may be contributing to pain, numbness, tingling, or dysfunction. This therapy works on the principle that the nervous system can become restricted due to trauma, inflammation, or misalignment of structures around the nerves. By enhancing nerve mobility, neural manipulation can alleviate symptoms of:

  • Sciatica or nerve impingement
  • Headaches or migraines
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Neuropathies
  • Chronic pain syndromes

How it works

Visceral and neural manipulation uses light touch and precise techniques to release restrictions in the organs and nervous system. This gentle therapy:

  • Evaluates the Whole Body: Identifies root causes of discomfort by assessing how different areas impact one another.
  • Releases Restrictions: Addresses tension and misalignment to restore balance and function.
  • Promotes Healing: Enhances circulation, nerve function, and organ mobility for pain relief and improved well-being.

Benefits of Visceral and Neural Manipulation

  • Improved organ function and motility
  • Relief from chronic pain and tension
  • Better nerve health and reduced nerve-related discomfort
  • Enhanced circulation and lymphatic flow
  • A more balanced and aligned body
  • Better movement and flexibility
  • Improved posture and reduced stress


These therapies are particularly beneficial because they address the root cause of dysfunction, rather than just masking symptoms. The holistic nature of the approach makes it suitable for a wide range of conditions, from digestive issues to musculoskeletal pain, and it often complements other forms of treatment or rehabilitation.


If you're dealing with chronic pain, digestive discomfort, or nerve-related issues, visceral and neural manipulation may offer a promising path to healing.
