Mercier Therapy is a soft tissue visceral manipulative therapy technique used to help restore the health and general well being within the female pelvis.

This gentle and noninvasive technique was created to help you reconnect to your divine feminine and to allow your pelvis, a highly emotional space, to re-open to healing and balance.

Chronic pelvic pain can be debilitating and difficult to handle on a daily basis. Typically pelvic pain can occur within the structures surrounding the female reproductive organs such as the urinary bladder, bowel, musculature, ligaments and bones. Also, pain could be coming from the reproductive organs themselves. Usually with pelvic pain there is a combination of bowel and bladder dysfunction that accompanies the pain as well.

1 in 4 women experience chronic pelvic pain. 10-55% of women ages 15-64 experience urinary incontinence.

Mercier Therapy Visceral Manipulation has proven to help the following issues:

• Infertility
• Endometriosis
• Poly cystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
• Pelvic Scaring or adhesions from surgery
• Sexual Abuse trauma
• Persistent pelvic pain
• Anovulation
• Amenorrhea
• Sexual function

• Appendicitis, gastritis, other abdominal inflammations

Mercier Therapy for pelvic pain is done over a period of 4-6 weeks and is done in 6 individual sessions at 60 minutes per session. This visceral manipulative technique is done abdominally and requires NO vaginal work. Appropriate referral to a Uro/Gyn Physician can be given for further evaluation.

According to the CDC in 2010 Cesarean births were done at a rate of nearly 40% in the United States. While many of these c-sections are done for convenience of the provider and failed induction there are occasions when the c-section procedure is needed to safely birth a baby and that is in a malpresentation such as breech or as a medical emergency.

Once the c-section is done and a woman has been released from medical or midwifery care than there are little to no suggestions made as to help with the recovery process.

During the cesarean delivery a horizontal incision is made to the lower segment of the uterus which can cause a significant amount of scar tissue and start the front of the uterus adhering to the back of the bladder. This type of scar tissue can cause a restriction of movement and ultimately lessen blood flow to the entire pelvic area. This can cause secondary fertility challenges.

Our c-section recovery program can help you start to rehabilitate 6 weeks after your surgery. You must have your physicians clearance and no wound gaping, active infection or significant pain at the incision site.
