BOOK - CranioSacral Therapy for Grief and Loss; Hands-On Techniques to Release Trauma Stored in the Body
This book provides practical support for the trauma of losses, from large to small
Sharing Dr. Upledger’s techniques and his own innovative applications of CranioSacral Therapy and SomatoEmotional Release across 20 years of practice, Diego Maggio presents tools and exercises to facilitate your inner self-healing mechanisms and support yourself and others through the stages of grief and bereavement following a loss.
In the Physiological and Clinical Applications of Visceral Manipulation series of books, Dr. Ron Mariotti helps the manual therapist move from a purely mechanical approach with patients to the role of “artist” by developing the subtle ability to sense tension patterns, as well as the moment of tissue release. The foundation of this series of books is the truly unique and effective work of French Osteopath Jean-Pierre Barral referred to as Visceral Manipulation.
In Volume 2 of the Physiological and Clinical Application series, Dr. Mariotti continues his detailed exploration into the clinically relevant world of anatomy and physiology, with a focus on the duodenum, jejunoileum, and colon. Not only does he take you methodically through the study of anatomy, but also step-by-step through the assessment and treatment techniques of Barral’s Visceral Manipulation.
In this two-part series, Pediatric Manual Therapy: Visceral and Neuromeningeal Manipulation by Jean Anne Zollars, discover how these profound manual therapies, developed by French osteopath Jean-Pierre Barral are adapted for newborns, babies, and young children.
These books:
• Help the manual therapist treat pediatric patients with common conditions such as reflux, colic, tongue tie, gassiness, and constipation by differentiating whether the visceral distress is from dysfunction in the organ, the autonomic nervous system, cranium, fascia, or a combination of these structures. • Give guidance for assessing and treating babies and children with autonomic nervous system dysregulation, particularly as it relates to trauma, often presenting as irritability, difficulty sleeping, constant crying, hyperactivity, reflux, or inability to make eye contact with the caregiver. • Contain information specific to assessing and treating pediatric patients with cerebral palsy, torticollis, plagiocephaly, prematurity, medical trauma, and delayed milestones such as crawling. • Distill applicable information on embryology and neuromotor development, condensing relevant knowledge from shelves of texts and resources into a few concise chapters. • Emphasize how the baby’s or child’s tissues guide treatment, especially important for babies or nonverbal children.
Volume 1 takes the manual therapist through the step-by-step assessment and treatment approach for the baby or child, specifically for the autonomic nervous system, regulation, and the neuromeningeal system. It concludes with case studies integrating Visceral and Neuromeningeal Manipulation with pediatric therapy.
Volume 2 continues with the assessment and treatment approaches focusing on the organs using Visceral Manipulation.
BOOK - Overcoming Chronic Digestive Conditions - A healthy gut is fundamental to a healthy life. Embedded within our digestive system is the enteric nervous system, our “second brain,” which serves to protect us from the external world of adversity, including not only viruses and bacteria, but also traumatic events. As Nikki Kenward, CST-D, MCSS, explains, past challenges and traumas, whether emotional or physical, are held in the enteric nervous system in many ways, including fascial tension, cellular changes, and unhelpful “default settings.”
BOOK - Sensory Processing Solutions - Every person—whether baby, child, teenager, or adult—interacts with the world in their own unique way. Yet some have a harder time than others due to a variety of sensory processing issues, which can lead to motor delays, learning differences, frustration, anxiety, emotional, behavioral, and social challenges, as well as diagnoses like ADHD and “autism spectrum.” As sensory integration expert Sally Fryer Dietz reveals, these children are not “broken.” We are all unique, some just need more options and new ways to approach the world in order to make better sense of it.
BOOK - Manual Therapy Approach to the Brain - Volume 1 - This book presents an innovative manual approach to working with the brain, the most complex and fascinating part of the body, and a territory that seems essentially inaccessible. It is the result of a rich clinical experience, and a long empirical and pragmatic journey that Jean-Pierre Barral began over four decades ago.
Online Video-for your computer or digital device-Applied Anatomy: Practical Dissection Experience for Manual Therapists - This is an online video program based on the Virtual Series.
Series of 6 Programs - This Virtual Series is an exciting opportunity to participate in a dissection program from the comfort of your home. Eric Moya has taken his decades of teaching dissection classes and created this Applied Anatomy program that will benefit all manual therapists.
JUST RELEASED: Introducing the second volume in Jean-Pierre Barral’s groundbreaking series, Manual Therapy Approach to the Brain – Volume 2. Building on the foundational insights and hands-on techniques presented in Volume 1, this new volume deepens the clinical application, offering expanded protocols and refined strategies for therapeutic intervention. This eagerly awaited follow-up offers manual therapy professionals additional practical, precise, and innovative techniques for addressing a wide range of brain-related and neurological conditions.

JUST RELEASED - Synoviolymphatic System of the Extremities; Manual Therapy Perspective
Discover a groundbreaking approach to joint health and manual therapy with Jean-Pierre Barral’s latest book. This pioneering work explores the often-overlooked synoviolymphatic system—an essential network responsible for maintaining fluid balance, waste removal, immune function, and intra-articular pressure within the joints.
Brought to you by The Barral Institute (BI) in collaboration with Gil Hedley, these companion courses include dissection videos that illuminate the structure and relationships of the Visceral System.
