Visceral Mobilization as Part of the Course Curriculum in Physiotherapy

Abstract

Physiotherapy education has evolved significantly over the past decades, transitioning from a primarily musculoskeletal and exercise-based model to a broader discipline that now encompasses cardiopulmonary rehabilitation, neurology, geriatrics, pediatrics, women’s health, and pain sciences. Yet, one important area that remains largely absent from mainstream physiotherapy curricula, particularly in South Asia, is visceral mobilization. I wish to draw attention to the necessity of introducing visceral mobilization into physiotherapy course curricula, given its clinical significance and growing evidence base.
