In this second volume, Jean-Pierre Barral further develops the concepts and techniques first described in his pioneering work Visceral Manipulation. 
The introductory chapter focuses on lesional chains and reflexogenic zones. There is an in-depth discussion of such diagnostic methods as general and local listening, inhibition points, and the completed form of the Adson-Wright and Laségue tests. 
The treatment section introduces recoil and general induction, and discusses treatment strategy and some special problems associated with manipulation in children. The autonomic plexuses of the trunk and their place in visceral manipulation are also described. 
Other chapters discuss such structures as the peritoneum, spleen and pancreas which were not covered in the first volume. There is also an expanded discussion of the gastroesophageal junction, stomach and duodenum, liver, gallbladder and bile ducts, jejunoileum and colon, and kidneys. 
Extensively illustrated and fully indexed, Visceral Manipulation II is an important book for all practitioners who wish to improve their skills in visceral manipulation.

While Jean-Pierre Barral's previous books, Visceral Manipulation and Visceral Manipulation II, focus on the abdomen, in The Thorax the author turns his unique gaze to the thoracic cage and its contents. 
Barrral begins by describing the thorax as an area of conflict and contrast: it must protect the organs enclosed within, yet must also allow exchanges with the neck and abdomen. Problems with either of its dual roles of protection and exchange lie at the root of most thoracic disorders. Detailed descriptions and illustrations are provided of tests for dysfunction and treatment of the nonaxial joints, fasciae and viscera of this important area of the body. 
Among the special topics contained in this volume are global and local listening of the thorax; utilization of the completed Adson-Wright test; cervical attachments of the pleura; intrasternal tests and treatment; utilization of various access points to the phrenic nerve; and stretching along the orientation of the coronary arteries. 
The Thorax is an important book for all practitioners who wish to broaden their skills in visceral manipulation.

The Thorax

This well-researched, richly illustrated book begins with an overview of the biomechanics of trauma. The authors demonstrate how an osteopathic-based mechanical approach to trauma can be applied to the entire body, with a special focus on the phenomenon of whiplash. From here they move on to a functional-anatomical approach, focusing on the skull and other aspects of the central nervous system, as well as the structures that surround and protect it. Finally, they view trauma from the perspective of how it affects the different tissues and systems of the body, including the osteoarticular, visceral, and vascular systems, and the various sequelae that can occur in each of these systems. 
Having presented an osteopathic interpretation of trauma, the authors apply some of their own unique methods of osteopathic diagnosis, particularly with regard to those structures that are often affected by trauma: the dural tube, cranial sutures, craniofacial membranous junction, mediastinum, and spleen. The book concludes with a description of manual techniques devised by the authors to treat some of the more recalcitrant sequelae of trauma.

Le corps possède une grande mémoire. Peurs, angoisses, traumatismes, chocs émotionnels et physiques s'y impriment et y restent gravés, en sommeil. Et quand ils se réveillent, lors d'un événement ou à travers une fragilité, c'est parfois sous une autre forme ou à un autre endroit. Les douleurs font leur chemin. C'est ce mystère du corps humain dans sa globalité (physique et psychique) qui intéresse Jean-Pierre Barral. Il nous explique les rapports qui existent entre nos organes et nos émotions, pour nous permettre de nous libérer des tensions présentes et passées. Car on peut soigner un problème émotionnel en traitant un organe, comme on peut soigner un organe en traitant un problème émotionnel. Vous découvrirez, pour chaque organe, son fonctionnement, les troubles qui peuvent l'affecter, les causes de ces troubles et les moyens de les soigner (sur les plans physique, psychique, alimentaire). Vous pourrez enfin comprendre les messagers que sont le cerveau, les reins, les poumons, le foie, l'estomac, etc. qui participent au grand spectacle des émotions.

Les disques intervertébraux sont des structures cartilagineuses et fib reuses qui se trouvent entre deux vertèbres : on compte 23 disques int ervertébraux. Ils permettent d'amortir les chocs au niveau de la colon ne vertébrale. Le centre des disques intervertébraux est constitué d'u n noyau gélatineux composé à 80% d'eau. Les disques sont viscoélastiqu es et hydrophiles, leur hauteur varie en fonction des rythmes circadie n et nycthéméral, de la mobilité vertébrale, des ports de charges lour des, de la circulation artério-veineuse, du régime alimentaire, des gr andes variations hormonales, du bon état viscéral, du stress, etc. Les discopathies arthrose vertébrale puis hernies discales sont des pathologies fréquentes affectant une large population. Après une synthèse anatomo-pathologique, le livre présente un ars enal de tests spécifiques avec des techniques originales et innovant es et des manipulations vasculaires neurales. Chaque geste est expl iqué par un texte court et exhaustif avec à l'appui le dessin anatomiq ue et la photographie de la manipulation réalisés spécialement pour l' ouvrage.
