Sorry, just can't let this pass. Your "clogged" gall bladder is actually not obstructed. It is simply cholestasis, treated easily with dietary changes and simple meds. If you want to pay someone to massage it, thats your business. (they may need to make their Volvo payment.)

Cholelithiasis with obstruction however leads to infection. Acute cholecystitis can kill you. Letting someone massage your obstructed gall bladder could kill you more quickly if it is ruptured.

An appendix that is not infected causes no pain. To "massage" an infected appendix is pure foolishness.

P.S. I work with a number of well trained osteopathic physicians. Unfortunately thier reputations suffer due to old school osteopaths who still maintain they can cure Tuberculosis with spinal manipulation.
