The purpose of visceral manipulation is to recreate, harmonize, and increase proprioceptive communication in the body, in order to enhance its internal mechanism for optimum health.

We are familiar with the concept that our bodies need movement to be healthy. This same principle applies to every structure in the body including the viscera. Our organs have two types of physiologic motion, mobility and motility. Mobility refers to movement of the viscera in response to an external force. This force can be voluntary, such as when you are performing a pelvic floor contraction or involuntary, like the contraction of your diaphragm with respiration.

Let’s use surgery, a Cesarean section, as an example. A C-section requires cutting through the abdominal fascia to access the uterus. The connective tissue or scar tissue that replaces this incision is less elastic than the tissue that was previously there. Early on postpartum, the C-section scar may be sensitive which may encourage the mother to move in a flexed trunk position. At first this may not seem problematic but could lead to a cascade of dysfunctions in the future. If we extrapolate Woff’s law to the fascia, the body will continue to lay down less elastic connective tissue in areas of tension. This flexed trunk position overtime could create weakness and decrease support of the abdominal muscle and back extensors leading to back pain. It could also potentially create myofascial trigger points in the adjacent muscles that refer to areas such as the clitoris or urethra. And what about the nearby viscera? This restriction in motion could impact the bladder or bowels leading to symptoms of urinary urgency, incontinence and constipation.

This is not a STD. These are known to be called “Bartholin's cysts” and can form anywhere on the body. They usually develop over two to four days. They can tend to rupture and drain after 4-5 days on their own. But in some cases may need extra TLC.

Pelvic Hydrotherapy aka #yonisteaming and hydrosols can help them heal more rapidly without outpatient surgery or infection. All cases vary. But don’t lose hope, there are alternative #holistic therapies offered within an Arvigo approach.

I am excepting new clients, so plz feel free to PM or book online.

#bewell 💫

Those who suffer from depression, the first solution is psychotherapy, where a person sees a trained mental health professional to talk (and at times medication is prescribed). Now, people are also beginning to better understand how a combination of treatment options can be beneficial, and massage therapy is showing great promise in alleviating depression and Seasonal Affective Disorder.

Related Studies
* The effect of massage therapy on trait anxiety and depression is virtually the same as those routinely found in the research studies of psychotherapy for people with the same conditions.

* Research indicates that massage can improve mood and reduce depression in those living with chronic pain, as well as in cancer patients, pregnant women, and people living with chronic disease.

* One in five Americans are impacted by Seasonal Affective Disorder; leaving many people feeling depressed and lethargic. Studies show that regular massages can improve mood and reset circadian rhythms, leading to improved mood, better sleep, and more energy.

Don't forget about your self-care and book a massage to keep your immunity and mental health in balance!
