The Barral Institute Visceral Manipulation Level3
VISCERAL MANIPULATION: PELVIS (VM3)
• Visceral Manipulation (VM) was
developed by world-renowned French
Osteopath Jean-Pierre Barral
• In this advanced level workshop
students will study those organ
systems of the pelvis not previously
presented, integrate the pelvic organs
with the complex ligament system of
the body regions, and give methods for
differentiation between somatic and
visceral causes for pelvic and low back
problems.
• It includes lecture, demonstration and
practice for each technique presented.
