Discover Mercier Therapy

​

Mercier Therapy is an external visceral manipulation that increases mobility and stimulates circulation to the reproductive organs to promote optimal function. This specialized form of pelvic therapy reduces restrictions and adhesions in the organs and their surrounding structures, restoring mobility, blood flow, lymphatic drainage, and facilitating optimal function. 

​

Common applications of Mercier Therapy include:

​

Fertility Issues

Mercier Therapy is a great tool to support fertility. By addressing pelvic imbalances, releasing restrictions, and improving circulation in the pelvic organs, Mercier Therapy helps to optimize conditions for fertility. There are currently 2 research studies published in Midwifery Today demonstrating Mercier Therapy's profound effects on fertility. 

​

Pelvic Pain

Mercier Therapy can be effective in managing pelvic pain caused by various factors, including endometriosis, adenomyosis, inflammatory conditions, pelvic floor dysfunction, or adhesions from previous surgeries.

 

Menstrual Disorders

Mercier Therapy helps alleviate symptoms of menstrual disorders such as dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia, or irregular cycles by improving pelvic organ mobility and function.

 

Surgical Recovery

Mercier Therapy is recommended as part of the recovery process following pelvic or abdominal surgery to reduce scar tissue formation, release adhesions, and promote proper tissue healing. 

​

Postpartum Recovery

Mercier Therapy aids in the postpartum healing process by addressing pelvic floor function, promoting tissue repair, and supporting the realignment of pelvic structures following childbirth. It can help alleviate symptoms such as pelvic pain, urinary incontinence, or pelvic organ prolapse. We assess for diastasis recti, breathing patterns, and you receive home exercises to support your healing.

​

We use organic castor oil, near-infrared(NIR) light therapy, heat, SOT(sacro-occipital technique) pelvic blocking, and cupping in conjunction with Mercier Therapy to maximize the benefits and optimize outcomes.
