Product Description
Osteopathy and other systems of manual medicine have developed a variety of models for understanding the mechanics of proper and improper motion of the musculoskeletal system. In this important and pioneering work, that same structural vision is applied to the visceral system. The central premise of Visceral Manipulation is that the interrelationship of structure and function among the internal organs is at least as strong as that among the constituents of the musculoskeletal system; and that, like the musculoskeletal system, manipulation of the viscera can be beneficially used in the treatment of a wide variety of problems affecting any of the body’s systems. In this revised edition, over a hundred-and-thirty new illustrations and photographs, many of them in two colors, graphically depict the ideas in the text. Minor updates have also been made to the original text.

 visceral manipulation revised edition ( ttoles4 )
had this book for awhile, never really went through it until my CHEK Level 3 course. just recently completed a 2-day Visceral-somatic link workshop by the Barral Institute and now I can apply the skills I learned and use this book as my reference guide. Great for those who are in the massage industry.

Worthwhile Revision!
This already excellent text has been significantly updated with more direct explanations, greatly improved illustrations, and a more complete, better organized text. All this creates much greater specific clinical applicability. Even if you own the first edition, this is a book well worth your while to buy again!
