VM1 10.30-11.02.25 POR
VM1: Visceral Manipulation: Abdomen 1
VM1 October 30-November 2, 2025 Portland, Oregon
Description:
In this course, you will be introduced to the models and concepts of functional biomechanics as viewed from Jean-Pierre Barral's Visceral Manipulation approach. This method of evaluation and treatment is based on the concept that each of our internal organs rotates on a physiological axis. Focus is on the abdominal cavity and includes the organs, their membranes, ligaments, innervation and their spatial functional interrelationships. You will learn basic manipulations for correcting abnormal motions and stress patterns within this cavity. The manual techniques are not advised for pregnant participants.
Advance Preparation:
We invite you to review this introductory video (29 minutes) about the Barral Institute, presented by Curriculum Director Gail Wetzler, PT, DPT, EDO, BI-D, available here:

For this course, the required reading is Visceral Manipulation, authored by course developer Jean-Pierre Barral. This textbook provides a comprehensive overview of visceral relationships, with the first chapter offering insights into the basic philosophy and an introduction to listening techniques.
The VM1 course focuses on key anatomical structures, including the liver, gallbladder, stomach, sphincters, jejunoileum, and colon.
