Visceral therapy, also known as Old Slavic abdominal massage, is a massage technique that focuses on the manipulation of the abdominal surface of the body. Its creator was the Russian physician Alexander Ogulov. This method uses abdominal massage techniques, traditional healing methods and a deep knowledge of human physiology. As a result, it affects our health both physically and mentally.

It is worth noting that this therapy is a holistic treatment method. It focuses on the connections between the musculoskeletal system and the internal organs. Understanding these interactions is key, as the position and movements of the internal organs have a direct impact on the health of our spine, pelvis, ribs, shoulder girdle, muscles and fascia. Therapists focus on correcting dysfunctions in the internal organs and peri-organ tissues to restore their natural position and eliminate abnormal tension. In this way, they promote the health and function of the entire body.

What is visceral therapy?

According to therapists, many of the body's ailments that do not appear to be linked to the digestive system may have their roots quite somewhere else. They refer to stagnation of blood and lymph in the internal organs or their surrounding spaces. These stagnations can lead to hypoxia and abnormal circulation in vital organs, which negatively affects health. Internal organs are surrounded by soft tissues, and the tension in these tissues can affect the body's metabolism, performance and immunity, and therefore overall health. Even minor changes in the position of organs due to trauma, strain, exercise or infections can contribute to various ailments in the human body.

Visceral therapy seeks to improve the function of internal organs through gentle and precise abdominal massage techniques, which can provide relief and benefit the patient's overall health. However, it is worth noting that, like any therapeutic method, visceral therapy has its limitations and is not always suitable for all cases. It is always advisable to consult an appropriate medical professional before embarking on this type of therapy.

What are the indications for visceral massage?

Internal organ therapy is recommended for a wide variety of human health problems. It can be used both in acute situations, such as after car accidents or injuries to the chest and abdomen, as well as for chronic complaints of the digestive system, such as digestive and metabolic disorders, bloating, heartburn, reflux, constipation, difficult weight loss or food intolerance.

Internal organ therapy can also be effective in treating other abdominal problems, such as painful menstruation or incontinence. In addition, it is successful for ailments that, at first glance, do not appear to be related to the digestive system and abdominal cavity, such as back pain, joint problems, stress or migraines.

What are the contraindications to the procedure?

Although visceral massage has many positive effects, there are certain conditions that are absolute contraindications to visceral therapy.

  • Patients with a diagnosis of cancer should not undergo visceral therapy due to the risk of uncontrolled tumour spread.
  • Acute diseases of internal abdominal organs requiring urgent medical intervention.
  • Haemorrhages, fresh wounds, blood clots: visceral therapy may worsen the condition of patients with active haemorrhages, fresh wounds or blood clots.
  • Pregnant women should avoid visceral therapy due to the potential risk to the foetus.
  • Patients with active TB should avoid visceral therapy, as abdominal manipulation may increase the risk of spreading infection.
  • During high fever, the therapy may worsen the condition.
  • People with serious mental illnesses that prevent them from cooperating with the therapist or understanding the procedures should avoid visceral therapy.

How does the therapy work?

Visceral therapy begins with a detailed patient interview, in which all past and current health problems are discussed. The information gathered is confirmed with various diagnostic tests. The visceral therapist then moves on to manual treatment. Through manual work on the soft tissues, tension within the organ in question can be removed and blood and lymph circulation can be improved. At the end of the therapy, a test is performed to check whether the tension has been successfully reduced.

Many patients may be surprised to learn that their health problems can result from strains and malfunctions of internal organs. Factors such as past accidents, stressful work, surgeries, musculoskeletal injuries or thoracic dysfunctions can affect organ function over time. Massage techniques for the internal organs provide relief, prevent complications and reduce various health complaints.

What are the effects of visceral therapy?

With the appropriate manual techniques used by visceral therapists who have undergone a special training course, the tension of the fascia in the body is normalised and blood flow in the internal organs and abdominal cavity improves. This has a positive effect on the body's metabolism and defence capacity.
Improved abdominal function contributes to better oxygenation and nutrition to other parts of the body, such as the chest, spine, head, brain and upper and lower limbs. Improved blood circulation also helps to fight bacterial, viral, fungal infections and parasites found in the digestive system and beyond.
Prophylactic abdominal massage helps in the process of detoxification and elimination of unnecessary metabolic products, which protects us from inflammation and the formation of stones in the kidneys or gallbladder.
