Visceral Fascial Release is the culmination of several decades of clinical research in the field of Myofascial Release. The new approach presented in this introductory lab course uses Myofascial Release techniques on the visceral system. Amazing outcomes can be attained with these techniques. In the field of Structural Rehabilitation, answers are found for patients with organ-related dysfunctions such as heartburn, reflux, Colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, failure to thrive, seasonal and food allergies, environmental illness, gall bladder disorders, ulcers, asthma, emphysema, swallowing problems, kidney pain and related low back pain, and more.
