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.

What to Expect During a Session

Your therapist will begin with a detailed history and movement assessment to identify possible fascial restrictions or organ mobility issues. During treatment:

  • 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
  • You may feel improved breathing, core coordination, or organ function immediately
  • You’ll receive movement or self-care strategies to support long-term change

Many patients find visceral work to be deeply relaxing and effective, especially when combined with therapeutic exercise and pelvic floor retraining.

My experience with Northwest Wellness Group was great! From the reception staff who were so kind and eager to help me get scheduled sooner than they initially had available. They were always so welcoming when I would come for my appointments. Then Dr. Deanna Jones was so knowledgeable, personable, and helpful. She always had a solution for any ailment I brought to her every appointment. She was so easy to talk with and normalized all of my concerns. I highly recommend this group!

I worked with Ginny for about eight weeks. She really helped me understand my body so that the therapy was successful. Ginny has wonderful interpersonal skills and I felt very comfortable with her. I would highly recommend her as your physical therapist.
