Core Integration

Including the Viscera in Structural Work

The fascia of the viscera has strong affects on the structure. Releasing strains in the visceral fascia can be very helpful in enhancing core transmission and organizing the spine, pelvis and shoulder girdle. This comprehensive six-day class will cover indirect and direct work with the organs of the pelvis, abdomen and thorax. Detailed anatomy and the structural relationships of the viscera will be central to this class. We will cover both normal and abnormal mobility and motility. All of the information and techniques will be presented for working from an integrative perspective. Several ways of seeing, assessing and treating visceral restrictions will be shown.

Basic Visceral Class

This comprehensive eight-day class is the result of Liz Gaggini’s twenty years of study of visceral manipulation and her ongoing attempts to find value in the visceral techniques for integrative structural work. Visceral work as it is taught by Osteopaths is a treatment for visceral disease. However, there is a way of working with the fascia of the viscera to help with the goals of Structural Integration, as well. Any fixation in the visceral fascia can affect line, balance and ease just as a fixation in the myofascia or a joint would.  Visceral tissue, just as with structural tissue, is best worked with and re-aligned in an integrative manner.  By understanding the anatomy of the viscera and how to combine indirect and direct techniques, we can release, balance and integrate this core fascia and further open,  align and integrate the entire structure. 8 days.
