Visceral Manipulation

Rating:
Summary: Helpfull!
Review: Mr. Barral and Mercier adds to the osteopathic armamentarium with an easy understandable approach to the viscera and its associated structures as it relates to the body in a mechanical, neuro-logical and chemical manner, making it accesible for manual treatment (which of course should be in context of treating the patient and not the pain). This book is helpfull as a learning tool (for educational support) and a clinical manual.

Summary: a D.C. comments
Review: Offers the intriguing hypothesis that the primary cause of many functional and structural disturbances is fixation/adhesion of visceral articulating surfaces. Can be used as a textbook of diagnosis and treatment by those trained in bodywork, especially those familiar with the subtle osteopathic cranial techniques.

Summary: Clear, and well thought out
Review: This is a must have for anyone interested in abdominal palpation and treatment. The authors convey a vast amount of information in a well organized format. A great companion to Hara Diagnosis: Reflections on the Sea.

Summary: A Compliment to the first
Review: Visceral Manipulation II is a wonderful compliment to the first book. Barrel takes the time to further elaborate on specifics which he quickly went over in the first book. More attention is given to detail and to treatment.
