Advanced Visceral Manipulation: The Thorax

Complete your advanced visceral training with this specialized masterclass on the thoracic cavity. Jean-Pierre Barral applies the concept of Viscoelasticity to the Heart, Lungs, and Bronchi, offering a new strategy for treating the vital organs of the chest.

This session features 13 specific treatment demonstrations that go far beyond standard mobility techniques. Highlights include:
Direct manual treatment of the Pericardium and Heart.
Advanced techniques for the Aorta and Vena Cava.
Addressing the critical junction between the Vena Azygos and Vena Cava.
Innovative treatment of the Pleura via the Brachial Artery.

Barral also builds a crucial bridge to the abdominal cavity, demonstrating the interrelatedness between the heart, lungs, and liver. Each technique is supported by detailed anatomical illustrations and conceptual explanations.
