Visceral vascular manipulations /

This work demonstrates a novel approach to visceral osteopathy. Basing their ideas on a sound understanding of the underlying A & P, Jean-Pierre Barral and Alain Croibier propose manipulation of the arteries to treat the intestines and other internal organs by increasing their blood flow. The ar...
