Mercier Therapy for Reproductive Health
At Acupuncture for Balanced Wellness, we specialize in the holistic treatment of infertility and women's health. In addition to acupuncture for infertility, we are pleased to now offer Mercier Therapy, a form of abdominal manual therapy for reproductive health. Mercier Therapy is a deep pelvic visceral manipulation protocol that helps to bring about better organ mobility, restore blood flow in the pelvis, and optimize health and function of the pelvic organs. This gentle and non-invasive technique was created by Dr.Jennifer Mercier, a naturopath and midwife who specializes in women’s functional endocrinology, to help women with fertility challenges and pelvic dysfunction. Mercier therapy was created to optimize health and wellbeing within the female pelvis by addressing scar tissue and decreased mobility of the reproductive structures. This gentle and non invasive technique is beneficial for women of all ages facing fertility challenges, pelvic pain, gynecological surgery recovery, or having gone through traumatic birth experiences.
What conditions benefit from Mercier Therapy?
Women with fertility concerns, pelvic pain, and menstrual irregularity can benefit from Mercier Therapy. Mercier Therapy can also be a benefit to women recovering from C-section or traumatic birth.
