Physiological and Neuroendocrine Effects of Soft Tissue Treatment and Clinical Applications

Prerequisite: Visceral Vascular Manipulation: Lower Body (VVML); and Visceral Manipulation: The Pelvis (VM3) or Visceral
Manipulation: The Thorax (VM4)


Advanced Visceral Manipulation: Physiological and Neuroendocrine Effects of Soft Tissue Treatment and Clinical Applications (AVMHC)

Visceral Manipulation affects the mobility and motility of the organs. It also affects the vascular, nervous, emotional, immune, and neuroendocrine stimulation systems. In this advanced seminar, we will study how very precise Visceral Manipulation techniques facilitate local and central neuroendocrine reactions.

Visceral Manipulation techniques activate through the vagus nerve and the sympathetic plexuses, and the hypothalamus responds. Most of the central effects follow the local mechanoreceptor stimulations. For example, when food is ingested it creates local dilations in the organs, which stimulate the local nervous fibers that then cause the brain to react. In this seminar, you will learn the precise visceral localizations that facilitate the best central responses. You will also see how to manipulate the vagus nerveā€”a key connection between the organs and the brain.

Course Highlights

  • Improve your manual therapy techniques.
  • Learn how organs facilitate local and central neuroendocrine reactions.
  • See how and where to facilitate the best central reactions from specific visceral localizations.
  • Learn how to manipulate the vagus nerve, which connects the organs to the brain.
