Tamar Myers, of Myers Bodywork, in Lexington, recognizes that some chronic pain and tension issues may not be helped by massage alone, so she is adding visceral and neural manipulation to the list of modalities offered in her practice.

“Longstanding fascial restrictions in and around the viscera can pull on back and neck muscles and vertebrae,” says Myers. “Restrictions in the nerves themselves can cause pain that one may think is coming from muscles or tissues around the nerves.” She explains that even after an injury has healed, irritated nerves can cause pain apart from the original injury. For such issues, visceral and neural manipulation techniques may provide relief where massage alone does not.
