Visceral and Gastroenterological Massage
Visceral massage, based on visceral osteopathy techniques, helps restore mobility to the internal organs by releasing chronic inflammation and deep tensions that can contribute to digestive disorders, lower back pain, and postural imbalances.Particularly effective on the gut—often referred to as our "second brain", this treatment stimulates intestinal motility, promotes serotonin production, and helps regulate the autonomic nervous system. The result is improved energy, digestion, mood, and immune function.

About the Treatment
Visceral and Gastroenterological Massage: Balance and Wellness for the Body
Visceral gastroenterological massage, commonly known as visceral massage, is an advanced osteopathic technique that focuses on improving mobility and functionality of internal organs located in the abdominal cavity, including stomach, intestine, kidneys, and liver. This manual treatment, acting on the body's deep structures, helps restore harmony between organs and the rest of the organism, promoting digestive health and overall wellness.
How Visceral Massage Works
The treatment is based on manual fascial and muscular techniques, aimed at improving the elasticity of connective tissues surrounding organs and freeing their natural mobility. It acts on the intestinal muscular layer and other internal structures, removing tensions and stagnations that can hinder digestion and metabolism.
A key aspect of visceral massage is working on the diaphragms (respiratory and pelvic), which helps restore correct intra-abdominal pressure. This not only optimizes blood and lymphatic circulation, promoting toxin elimination, but also reduces bloating and abdominal pain. The treatment thus proves to be a valuable resource for those suffering from digestive dysfunctions and autonomic nervous system imbalances.
When Visceral Massage is Indicated

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is visceral massage recommended for?
It's recommended for those suffering from digestive disorders (bloating, constipation, irritable bowel, reflux), abdominal or lower back pain, chronic stress, autonomic nervous system imbalances, and psychosomatic tensions. It's also ideal for those wanting to improve breathing and posture.
Does visceral massage really help digestion?
Yes, because it improves intestinal peristalsis, reduces bloating, optimizes stomach function, and helps eliminate toxins. It can be very effective for those suffering from slow digestion or recurring intestinal disorders.
Does visceral massage have benefits for the nervous system?
Yes, because the intestine is connected to the brain through the vagus nerve and is responsible for producing 90% of serotonin, the wellness hormone. The massage helps reduce stress, improve sleep, and rebalance the autonomic nervous system.
Does visceral massage help reduce cellulite?
Yes, visceral massage can have an indirect effect on reducing cellulite. By acting on blood and lymphatic circulation, it promotes toxin elimination and excess fluid drainage, two key factors in cellulite formation. Additionally, by improving intestinal function and rebalancing abdominal pressure, it can help reduce bloating and stagnation that affect skin appearance.
