An Overview of Visceral Manipulation
Barral.comCurriculums:
Visceral manipulation is organ-specific fascial mobilization, and is based on the premise that free movement within the body is vital, and thus any restriction will adversely affect health. Visceral manipulation treats functional and structural imbalances throughout the body, with an aim to affect musculoskeletal, vascular, nervous, urogenital, respiratory, digestive, and lymphatic dysfunction. The goal of visceral manipulation is to help the body return to normal function and thereby remove compensatory symptoms, whatever their source, leading to improved health and optimal body functioning.

This discovery could both help us better understand how memory works and how information is spread without the use of a direct connection or synapses. Researchers found that information can be transferred in electrical waves throughout the neural tissue without following the traditional synaptic pathways.
