The International Association of Study of Pain (IASP) has recognized visceral pain and its implications in musculoskeletal pain. Chronic secondary visceral pain is chronic pain secondary to an underlying condition originating from the head, neck, thoracic, abdominal and pelvic regions. They can cause persistent inflammation and ongoing pain.
Visceral pain can be exacerbated by sensitive neural pathways, stress, musculoskeletal or environmental factors.
Visceral mobilization can be helpful to calm a sensitive nervous system by mobilizing soft tissues around the viscera.
They are hands-on manual physical therapy techniques geared towards the tissues surrounding visceral organs and fractured or broken pelvis. They help reduce ongoing threats perceived by the brain and help in reduction of pain.
