Gentle manual work supporting mobility around the abdomen and internal structures.
Visceral Manipulation is a gentle, hands-on approach focused on how the internal structures of the body move and relate to the rest of the body. Instead of looking only at muscles or joints, Bonnie works carefully around areas of restriction, tension, and movement patterns that may be affecting comfort, posture, digestion, breathing, or overall body function.
What is Visceral Manipulation?
How It Works
Visceral Manipulation uses gentle, specific manual techniques to assess and support mobility around the abdomen, ribs, pelvis, and surrounding tissues. Bonnie works slowly and respectfully, using light contact to notice where the body may feel restricted or guarded. The goal is to support better movement through the internal structures and surrounding soft tissue while keeping the session calm, safe, and comfortable.
