Abdomino-Visceral Manipulation Online Course Description

Join Steven Goldstein as he unpacks JP Barral, Carolyn Stone, and other osteopathic authors’ presentation of visceral manipulation.

Included in this three module online series is the basic and fundamental concepts of body cavity dynamics, tensegrity, fluid dynamics, visceral anatomy and topography, visceral motion; mobility and motility testing, listening technique, visceral articulations, the influence of facet joint orientation.

Treatments will demonstrate direct visceral fascial technique: indirect techniques including functional technique, induction, rebound and recoil techniques.

Still photos of many visceral assessments and techniques, video of J.P. Barral instruction, listening technique video, anatomical videos of the abdominal cavity, intra and retro perontineal organs.

Individual organs presented include the liver, gallbladder, stomach and esophagus, small intestine, large intestine/colon, the thoracic cavity and the kidneys.
