VISCERAL MANIPULATION & CRANIAL-SACRAL MASSAGE
Our practitioners at Full Circle offer visceral manipulation, a hands-on therapy to help your organs function optimally. The technique, first developed by Dr. Jean Pierre Barral, involves gentle, targeted movements applied to the soft tissue known as viscera, including nerve tissue, blood vessels, organs, and the brain. Viscera, governed by the involuntary nervous system, reacts to both physical and psychological pain, showcasing the interconnectedness of the mind and body.
Our practitioners also perform transformative cranial-sacral massage on the brain, part of the viscera, to release strain patterns in surrounding membranes, restoring balance in the area. This treatment directly affects the cerebrospinal fluid aligned with the cranial-sacral work of Dr. John Upledger.
In treatments, patients should wear loose clothing to accommodate standing and sitting assessments, as the influence of gravity on internal structures cannot be addressed while lying down. Experience the depth of visceral manipulation and cranial-sacral work at Full Circle — where healing is both an art and a science.
What can visceral manipulation be used for?
-

COLD LASER THERAPY
Experience the healing benefits of cold laser therapy, a preferred choice for those seeking natural healing methods. This non-invasive, non-toxic therapy has stood the test of time, offering effective treatment for sport injuries, arthritic joints, neuropathic pain syndromes, and back and neck pain.
How does cold laser therapy work?
Cold laser therapy directly targets the source of pain, using low-level light from laser or LEDs to increase circulation, relax muscle tissue, reduce muscle stiffness, facilitate pain relief, and deactivate trigger points and muscle spasms. Applied directly to the problem area for minutes at a time, this gentle therapy is absorbed without generating heat, thereby accelerating cellular reproduction and growth.
What can cold laser therapy be used for?
-
Minor injuries and sprains
-
Inflammation, tendonitis
-
Arthritis
-
Aches and pains
-
Nerve pain, sciatica
SHOCKWAVE THERAPY
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive solution for musculoskeletal pain, widely used in physiotherapy, orthopaedics, and sports medicine. Primarily applied to chronic muscular and tendon disorders, back and neck pain, this therapy accelerates healing by stimulating metabolism and enhancing blood circulation, promoting tissue regeneration.
How does shockwave therapy work?
Shockwave therapy features strong energy pulses to the affected area. These pulses occur for short periods of time, creating micro-cavitation bubbles that expand and burst, penetrating tissue and stimulating cells responsible for bone and connective tissue healing. In many instances, shockwave therapy is most effective in cases where the human body has struggled to heal on its own.
Its key benefits include fast pain relief and mobility restoration. This non-surgical, non-painkiller therapy solution can aid recovery time, and relieve acute or chronic pain.

Jumpers knee
