Organ shapes are outlined by genetic codes and then continually modified by the specific stresses and strains experienced by the developing organism. Flaccidity, flexibility, and rigidity emerge as the conditions of life demand.
This is, as Jean Pierre Barral, founder of Visceral Manipulation, said, “life is all about compensations and adaptations” and “harmony and health exist when motion is free and excursion is full”. Connective tissue shares with many other gels a phenomenon called THIXOTROPHY : it becomes more fluid when it is stirred up, and more solid when it sits without being disturbed.
This thixotropic effect provides one of the cornerstones for effective bodywork. Since connective tissue is largely non-living, it is the mechanical motion and friction causes by muscular activity which provides much of the energy and warmth that maintains its fluid qualities.
Manipulation of the tissues by skilled hands can provide a pleasant and extremely effective means of introducing freer movement and higher levels of energy into the connective framework. The hands of the therapist can literally supply the mechanical activity which a sluggish limb fails to produce, raising the metabolic rate and restoring some of the fluidity of its connective tissues.
