Visceral osteopathy in gynecology focuses on the treatment of functional disorders of the internal organs to alleviate discomfort in the lower abdomen, uterus, and ovaries, while promoting overall health of the female body.
Limited mobility and motility of the internal organs play a causal role in a variety of conditions. Since visceral osteopathy uses gentle techniques, it is particularly suitable for use in gynecology. Jean-Pierre Barral adapted this therapy, which he developed, to meet the needs of patients with gynecological issues. These complaints mainly affect the bladder, uterus, cervix, fallopian tubes, ovaries, and pelvis.
Even after pregnancies, visceral osteopathy can play a role. Pelvic corrections after childbirth help prevent incontinence and should absolutely be performed before postpartum, and pelvic floor exercises for every woman.
Symptoms
- menstrual discomfort and pain

However, osteopathy for women is not limited to this area. The following examples are also possible indications/applications:
