The Barral Method
Jean-Pierre Barral, a French osteopath and physiotherapist, developed a unique manual therapy system based on the listening and manipulation of internal organs, the nervous system and the vascular system.
His techniques are today a worldwide reference in advanced physiotherapy, with thousands of professionals trained in more than 40 countries. Barral Institute Spain offers the only official continuing-education program certified in Spanish.
