Visceral Vascular Manipulation — Upper Body
Direct work with the heart, aorta, subclavian and brachial arteries.
Treat the vascular system directly — release arterial compressions and improve local and systemic circulation.
VVMU takes you into the vascular tree of the upper body with the same rigor Barral applies to visceral and neural work. You will learn how arteries respond functionally to the body’s needs, how arterial compression creates dysfunction, and how precise manual release restores flow. The course covers manipulation of the heart, aorta, subclavian and brachial arteries, and teaches you to recognize the relationship between improved circulation and organ function. Research-based mobilization techniques validated through Doppler ultrasound give you scientific grounding for your work.
What you will learn
- Manipulate the soft tissues of heart, aorta, subclavian and brachial arteries
- Release vascular restrictions along specific arterial pathways
- Recognize the link between circulation and organ function
- Apply research-validated mobilization techniques
