What does the physical therapy portion of Mercier Therapy look like?

Your organs and muscles work better when they have the ability to move. The same goes for your pelvic floor muscles and organs.

Mercier Therapy includes six 1-hour sessions with a trained physical therapist who will utilize deep pelvic visceral manipulation around your pelvic floor organs.

This treatment is done completely externally and almost looks like a massage. However, it is more intense than a typical massage. Our goal is to dig deep and really mobilize those organs and increase bloodflow. Increasing blood flow in this way even helps with communication between your pituitary gland which helps with hormone secretion for fertility!

What does the hormone regulation portion of Mercier Therapy look like?

While the physical therapy portion often works as a stand-alone solution for fertility, success rates increase even further with the aid of supplements. We refer our Mercier Therapy patients to a licensed functional medicine doctor or nutritionist who will look at your bloodwork and help customize a supplement plan that will work to help your body regulate its hormones. Regulating your hormones can help you monitor your cycle better and correct hormonal imbalances that may be impeding your ability to get pregnant.

FAQs

Mercier Therapy FAQs

How much does it cost?

Our cost includes all six 1-hour physical therapy sessions plus additional consulting via phone/text as needed. It does not include the cost of working with a functional medicine doctor or nutritionist or any of their recommended supplements. All of those costs should be discussed with the doctor or nutritionist ahead of time.

Do you have a payment plan?

Yes! We can work with you to create a customized payment plan that works with your budget.

Is Mercier Therapy safe?

Mercier therapy is very safe. All physical therapy is non-invasive (completely external). The most common side effect is discomfort during the deep visceral manipulation.

Does it hurt?

For most people, Mercier Therapy is tolerable but uncomfortable during the one-hour long sessions. Due to the nature of the deep visceral manipulation, you may even experience some bruising. At Well + Core, we value patient/provider dialogue and will always listen to you if things get too intense.

Can I do Mercier Therapy with IVF or IUI?

Yes. While many women have conceived with the help of Mercier Therapy alone, many others have chosen to use it as an extra support in their IVF or IUI journey.

What if I just want to do the physical therapy part?

You can do that! The physical therapy portion of Mercier Therapy typically happens first, then patients will consult with a functional medicine doctor or nutritionist. Sometimes, patients get pregnant before entering the hormone balancing portion of Mercier Therapy. It is completely up to you how much of this program you’d like to embrace and how much you’d like to skip.

What if it doesn’t work?

This is always a possibility. We are extremely honest with our patients about the benefits and researched-backed statistics, but the truth is it’s not fail-proof. While we do not provide refunds for treatment that does not result in pregnancy. However, we can discuss options for discounted extra sessions in the future if you’d like to keep working.

Does Mercier Therapy work for anything else?

Yes! Mercier Therapy is not just for fertility. It’s proven to help with endometriosis, c-section recovery, back pain, and pre/post-op recovery for abdominal or uterine surgery.
