Osteopathy & other systems of manual medicine have developed a variety of models for understanding the mechanics of proper & improper motion of the musculoskeletal system. In this important & pioneering work, that same structural vision is applied to the visceral system.  The central premise of  Visceral Manipulation is that the interrelationship of structure & function among the internal organs is at least as strong as that among the constituents of the musculoskeletal system; & 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 bodys systems.  In this revised edition, over a hundred-&-thirty new illustrations & photographs, many of them in two colours, graphically depict the ideas in the text. Minor updates have also been made to the original text. ...

In this book, Jean-Pierre Barral further develops the concepts, techniques, & approaches first described in his pioneering work Visceral Manipulation. While that text focused on the fundamental anatomical & physiological background of this approach to treatment, along with the basic manipulative techniques,   Visceral Manipulation II is centred around clinical signs, diagnostic methods, emotional connections, & more advanced techniques.  The first chapter introduces the concept of lesional chains & reflexogenic zones that are crucial to the utilization of visceral approaches in the context of osteopathy. There is an in-depth discussion of such unique diagnostic methods as general & local listening, proper uses of the Adson-Wright & other orthopedic tests, the relationship between the emotions & the organs, techniques for restoring proper visceral viscoelasticity, & strategies for treatment, including some special problems associated with manipulation in children.  Other chapters discuss such structures as the peritoneum, spleen, & pancreas that were not covered in  Visceral Manipulation. There are also discussions of the gastroesophageal junction, stomach & duodenum, liver, gallbladder & bile ducts, jejunoileum & colon, & kidneys. Each of these chapters complements & expands upon those in the first book by providing fresh & more detailed perspectives on important aspects of using visceral manipulation in the clinic.  In this revised edition, all of the illustrations have been updated, photographs have been added, & the text revised to more closely follow Jean-Pierre Barrals present approach to visceral manipulation. New techniques are introduced, & background information provided on such topics as the relationship of the different organs to the emotions.  Visceral Manipulation II is an important book for all practitioners who wish to advance their skills in visceral manipulation. ...

Visceral Osteopathy: The Peritoneal Organs is concerned with the application of osteopathic concepts to the abdominal viscera, specifically the organs of the gastrointestinal tract. It lays out a comprehensive manual approach to these viscera based on physiological research & extensive clinical experience.  The visceral paradigm developed in this book is centred on the mechanical expression of the biological forces within the organs themselves. In this paradigm, the most important aspect of the viscera of the gut is their intrinsic, autonomous regulation. The focus is therefore on the inner mechanical architecture & power centres of the viscera.  Visceral Osteopathy offers a comprehensive & clinically sound system of diagnosis & treatment of the digestive organs, & firmly establishes visceral manipulation in the context of contemporary physiological research.  The diagnostic & therapeutic approaches of visceral osteopathy are described in detail & are accompanied by hundreds of photographs & drawings that clearly illustrate each of the techniques, including an original bi-manual form of palpation for all the viscera. A separate chapter is devoted to each of the peritoneal organs. ...
