Visceral Mobilization in Arlington Heights

Target the Root Cause of Pelvic Floor Dysfunction

Pelvic floor issues don’t always start in the pelvic floor muscles. Sometimes, the source of tension, pain, or dysfunction lies deeper—within the internal organs themselves. At Northwest Wellness Group, we use visceral mobilization to gently release restrictions in and around the organs, helping restore normal movement, reduce pain, and improve pelvic health from the inside out.

What Is Visceral Mobilization?

Visceral mobilization is a hands-on, manual therapy technique that addresses the mobility and alignment of internal organs (viscera) such as the bladder, uterus, intestines, and surrounding connective tissues. These structures are meant to move with every breath, twist, and stretch. But surgery, inflammation, injury, infection, or childbirth can cause fascial restrictions, which may lead to:

• Pelvic pain
• Incontinence or urgency
• Constipation and bloating
• Scar tissue adhesions
• Painful intercourse
• Organ prolapse
• Lower back or abdominal discomfort

By gently restoring movement to these internal tissues, visceral mobilization helps improve the function of the pelvic floor, abdominal wall, and core system as a whole.

Who Can Benefit from Visceral Mobilization?

Visceral mobilization is especially beneficial for individuals with:

• Chronic pelvic pain
• Endometriosis or pelvic adhesions
• Post-surgical or C-section scar tissue
• Bladder urgency or frequency
• Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
• Constipation or digestive issues
• Painful urination or intercourse
• Unexplained core instability

This technique is often combined with pelvic floor physical therapy to address both structural and functional imbalances in a comprehensive, whole-body way.

• Gentle, sustained pressure is applied to specific areas
• Internal organs and connective tissues are assessed for mobility
• Techniques are used externally on the abdomen, pelvis, or ribs
