Organ Synchronisation
The Coordination Of Awareness
Our OrganSync therapy is a deep dive into all the major organs within the abdominal cavity. Each organ has a specific relationship to an emotion, muscle and sensory organ.
For example the Liver is associated with anger, stress, frustration as well as the rhomboid muscles in between the shoulder blades and the eyes.
Therefore the balance of the organs is paramount to overall health on an Emotional, Physical and Internal perspective.
The organ system has an internal awareness system of communication known as mechanical dialoguing. The stimulus for this communication is movement. Movement is one of the major mechanisms the organs use to communicate with the brain. When movement is absent or diminished, the lack of brain stimulus will adversely affect the organs and their vitality and energetic state as well as the associated physical and emotional connection.
Our OrganSync therapy enhances the internal intelligence and self-correcting mechanisms our cells are capable of by utilising touch, and listening skills. In this context, intelligence can be viewed as coordination of awareness.
What Is OrganSync?
"The purpose of Organ Manipulation is to recreate, harmonise and increase sensory communication in the body to enhance its internal mechanism for better health" - Jean-Pierre Barral, DO, MRO(F), RPT
OrganSync is a manual therapy consisting of gentle, specifically placed manual forces that encourage normal mobility, tone and inherent motion of the organs, their connective tissue and other areas of the body where motion has been impaired.
Motion is a sign of life itself. Everything in the universe is in motion. Everything moves in space and time and we humans are no exception to this rule. Our bodies need movement to be healthy. This same principle applies to every structure in our bodies including our organs. For an organ to be healthy and have optimal function there needs to be motion.
OrganSync Therapy Benefits
Cellular
Lengthening collagen fibres which improves hydration
Physiological
Normalising pressure and tension within and between organs helps optimise digestion, elimination, absorption, blood/lymphatic flow and improves associated musculoskeletal restrictions.
Vascular
Increases blood circulation
Neurological
Re-establishes communication between the brain and the body by stimulating mechanoreceptors in somatic fibres.
Endocrine / Metabolism
Increases local tissue metabolism which in turn simulates general metabolism via increased serotonin production.
Mechanical
Increases functional mobility of the musculoskeletal system by softening associated anatomical connections.
Detoxification System
The main organs in the body's natural detoxification process are primarily the Liver and the Kidneys. When these organs are compromised then this natural detoxification process is hindered. OrganSync therapy enhances the natural detoxification process.
Communication
A way if understanding the communication of the mechanical properties of fascia with the various systems of our body is known as Mechanical Dialogue. This dialogue occurs naturally during homeostasis and when a person is in good health. Our OrganSync therapy enhances and improves mechanical dialogue during times of dysfunction.
Example mechanical stress affects an organ:
- Eventually this strain causes symptoms, like indigestion
- The affected organ sends sensory information to the spinal cord
- The spinal cord sends information to the entire central nervous system
- The nervous system informs the body that it needs to discharge the mechanical tension to stop the indigestion
- The person may change their posture or alter their diet in response to these internal messages
- If these efforts do not help with the symptoms, then a more specific approach may be needed
- Utilising OrganSync therapy techniques can help restore communication between the fascia and its functional relationships
