# Visceral Manipulation

A light, manual therapy works through the internal visceral organs in the body including heart, liver, stomach, intestines, etc. After the initial assessment of the body, the practitioner's hands are gently placed on those organs that are not moving with the rhythm of the body.

Mobility is the pushing and pulling of surrounding tissue. Visceral organs move in response to external forces that are either voluntary or involuntary movements.

Motility is the organ's intrinsic, active motion. It is also explained as the kinetic expression of tissues in motion.
