Advanced manual therapy techniques that address the true source of your pain.
Visceral Manipulation (VM) is a gentle, hands-on therapy developed by French osteopath and physical therapist Jean-Pierre Barral. The technique works with the body's internal organs — the viscera — and their surrounding connective tissue to evaluate and treat the dynamic relationship between the organs and other structures of the body.
Organs are not static. They move with every breath, heartbeat, and postural change. When an organ loses its normal mobility due to illness, injury, surgery, or emotional stress, it creates tension patterns that radiate through the body — often manifesting as pain far from the original restriction.
Dr. Friedman uses exquisitely sensitive palpation to detect these restrictions and applies precise, gentle pressure to release them — restoring normal organ mobility and resolving the downstream pain patterns they create.
Neural Manipulation (NM) is a complementary technique, also developed by Jean-Pierre Barral in collaboration with Alain Croibier, that assesses and treats the mechanical and neurological dysfunction of the nervous system. Nerves need to move freely within their surrounding tissue — when they don't, the result can be pain, numbness, weakness, and a wide range of neurological symptoms.
Dr. Friedman applies gentle, specific pressure along nerve pathways to release fixations and restore normal neural mobility. The effects are often immediate and profound — patients frequently report relief from symptoms they have carried for years.
Neural Manipulation is particularly effective for conditions where conventional treatments have failed to provide lasting relief, as it addresses the nervous system component that is often overlooked.
Our approach is especially effective for patients who have not found relief through conventional treatments.
You've tried everything — chiropractic, massage, injections — and nothing has provided lasting relief. Visceral and neural manipulation addresses the underlying structural cause.
Surgical procedures leave adhesions and scar tissue that can restrict organ mobility and cause persistent pain. VM is highly effective at resolving post-surgical complications.
IBS, GERD, constipation, and bloating often have a mechanical component. Restoring normal organ mobility can dramatically improve digestive function and reduce discomfort.
You believe in treating the whole person, not just the symptom. Our integrative approach honors the body's intelligence and works with it — not against it — to achieve lasting wellness.
