BOOK - This classic textbook, revised in 2006, explores the author's  central premise of Visceral Manipulation.  It's based on the relationship of structure and function among the body's internal organs, and how that relationship can affect and dictate overall health and well-being.

BOOK - This well-researched, richly illustrated book begins with an overview of the biomechanics of trauma. The authors demonstrate how an osteopathic-based mechanical approach to trauma can be applied to the entire body, with a special focus on the phenomenon of whiplash. From here they move on to a functional-anatomical approach, focusing on the skull and other aspects of the central nervous system, as well as the structures that surround and protect it. Finally, they view trauma from the perspective of how it affects the different tissues and systems of the body, including the osteoarticular, visceral, and vascular systems, and the various sequelae that can occur in each of these systems.

This book combines detailed anatomy, physiology, causes and characteristics for disease, specific signs and symptoms for each organ, visceral evaluation procedures, specific details to all techniques as taught within the Barral visceral curriculum --- as well as, homeopathic, botanical, nutritional and physical medicine suggestions. The focus is on these areas of the abdomen - evaluation, listening techniques, liver, gallbladder and stomach.

This exciting new book is now available. 

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.
