Visceral Massage

Visceral Massage is a technique that manipulates the abdominal area in a way that directly and indirectly affects the internal organs.

Techniques such as visceral manipulation, Hara (Japanese) Massage, Russian Medical Massage, and Acupressure are used explicitly for this purpose.

Each technique is strategically used to diagnose (discriminating patterns) and explain how the organs can be affected to improve their functions and illuminate certain conditions.

The abdomen is a large area where most of our organs are located and can be directly accessed. Some organs are situated in the thorax cavity and covered by the rib cage. Consequently, for organs that do not have direct access, it is suggested that indirect techniques such as Reflexology, Hara Massage, and Acupressure be used.

Visceral Massage has a broad spectrum of indications. However, in every case, a physician should properly diagnose patients before receiving a visceral massage.

“I was so lost with Long Covid when I first started working with Dr. Arkadiy. I was also his first Long Covid patient.

Fortunately, he’s an outstanding problem solver.
His unique skillset helped put me back together better than ever, even while Long Covid was still an unknown condition.”
