Visceral OMT Flashcards
impaired or altered mobility or motility of the visceral system and related fascial neurologic, vascular, skeletal and lymphatic elements
visceral dsyfunction
a system of diagnosis and treatment directed to the viscera to improve physiologic function
move them towards fascial attachments
visceral manipulation
ventral techniques
indicatinos for large intestine visceral OMT
constipatino
ibs
other functional disorders
viscerosomatic reflex findings
relative CI for large inetstine visceral OMT
peritonitis
colon obstruction
recent abdominal surgery
portions of LI that are retroperitoneal
ascending, descending and sigmoid colon
colon chapman reflexes are located
in a triangular area reahing from the transverse processes of L2-L4 reaching to the crest of the ilium
indications for SI visceral OMT
indigestion delayed gastric emptying cholestasis other functional disorders viscerosomatic reflex findings
relative CI for SI visceral OMT
peritonitis
splenomegaly
recent abdominal surgery
sympathetic innervation of stomach, duodenum, liver, gallbladder, pancreas and spleen
t5-T9
