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 a structural perspective. Several ways of seeing,
assessing and treating visceral restrictions will be shown.

This
comprehensive seven-day class is the result of sixteen years
of my study of visceral manipulation and my ongoing attempts
to find value in the visceral techniques for 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. Any fixation in this
fascia can affect line, balance and ease just as a fixation
in the myofascia or a joint would. 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 and align the entire structure.

Advanced
Visceral Seminars
|
|
There are three 3-Day seminars in the Advanced Visceral curriculum.
These classes approach working with the viscera
from a more integrative framework. In these classes you will
learn to work with deeper inner organ strains as well as
with more than one organ at a time, with entire systems and
across visceral cavities. New assessment protocols and
enhanced direct and indirect techniques will be taught which
greatly facilitate more effective releases and more profound
structural integration.
One - Review of Basic
Class
This class will review the territories and techniques
presented in the basic class. The interests and questions of the students will determine
the class content. There is always additional information
given about the basic work. This class is a
prerequisite for the remaining Level Two classes.
Repeating the Basic Visceral Class can substitute for
this requirement.
In this class you will learn both indirect and direct
apporaches to several of the accessory organs
including the greater omentum, mesocolon, gall bladder,
pancreas, spleen and greater omentum. We will also include more minute parts of
the urogenital and respiratory systems and glandular tissue,
in particular, the thyroid and adrenal glands.
Three - Advanced Indirect Techniques
and Integrative Pathways
Several
indirect techniques will be taught that can make your
visceral work more efficient and profound. We will look at working with more than one
organ at a time and releasing several different restrictions at once.
There
are connections within the visceral system that are
important to the transmission of core function
and support. This class will present several approaches for finding, opening and
integrating these pathways.

“Liz
Gaggini teaches two excellent visceral workshops which I
would highly recommend. She has ingested the
French osteopath's work and turned it into visceral work
in the service of structural integration - something we
can actually use. Her teaching style makes this work very
accessible and her workshops are packed with info that
you'll be "digesting" for a long time.” -
