Visceral Vascular Manipulation
Work directly with the vascular system to release circulatory restrictions and improve tissue function.
Visceral Vascular Manipulation (VVMU, VVML) treats the vascular tree as a functional and fascial system. Two modules address the upper body (subclavian, carotid axes, thoracic outlet vessels, cerebral arterial arches) and the lower body (aortoiliac territory, inferior vena cava, renal and pelvic vasculature, femoral and popliteal axes). The work is adjunctive to medical vascular care, applied within clear clinical indications and explicit medical coordination — not a replacement for vascular medicine.
Modules in this track
Visceral Vascular Manipulation — Upper Body
Treat the vascular system directly — release arterial compressions and improve local and systemic circulation.
Visceral Vascular Manipulation — Lower Body
The lower-body counterpart to VVMU — direct vascular work on the abdominal aorta, iliac and lower limb arteries.
Who this track is for
- Practitioners treating chronic venous insufficiency symptoms, lymphatic patterns, post-mastectomy heaviness
- Clinicians with patients presenting thoracic outlet vascular components
- Manual therapists coordinating with vascular medicine teams
- Practitioners with VM core and NM1 who want to extend into vascular territory
Prerequisites and progression
Prerequisites: VM1 and VM2 minimum, with NM1 strongly recommended. VVMU addresses the upper body, VVML the lower body; they can be taken in either order.
