Research Alert: Visceral manual therapy as an intervention for musculoskeletal disorders: A scoping review

A newly published scoping review in the Journal of Bodywork & Movement Therapies (2025) evaluated the effectiveness of Visceral Manual Therapy (VMT) for chronic low back, shoulder, and cervical pain.

Read here:https://www.iahe.com/storage/docs/articles/6Yi5vfpl5p3DCscnxu1NttFEyxUe6UtjduXDyr8B.pdf or Barralinstitute.com Resources Tab

This research is particularly relevant to Barral Visceral Manipulation because it acknowledges Jean-Pierre Barral’s work as foundational to modern Visceral Manipulation and distinguishes the organ-specific, precision-based approach from more generalized abdominal techniques.

This growing body of research continues to highlight the powerful relationship between visceral mobility and musculoskeletal function.
