Visceral manipulation is the osteopathic treatment of the internal organs. It has become an essential component of integral, holistically orientated osteopathy. This medical system is based on the work of Dr. Andrew Still (1828 – 1917), whose basic concept united structure and function. Disorders in the body’s mechanics are treated with very subtle manual techniques. At the same time, the relationship between vascular, neural, neuroendocrine regulatory mechanisms and their actions on the body and organ function is constantly being considered.

Emilie Conrad’s approach to movement education, health, and healing is as varied and deeply textured as her life story.

Readable, poignant, and ultimately triumphant, the book melds Conrad’s unique theories of the body-mind frontier with fearless discussions of Jewish heritage, sexuality, female identity, and social pressures.
