I have had quite a remarkable experience in dealing with a prolapsed bladder.  I explored many options to fix the problem beginning in 2003.  I talked with a urologist about medication and rejected going that route.  Physical therapy was suggested by my general practitioner. I tried several sessions with at-home regular exercising but didn’t feel I was making any progress.

 

In 2005 I was fitted for a pessary and used this device for over a year before becoming frustrated with its effectiveness.  The pessary worked sporadically but was very difficult to get in and out and the needed to be periodically upsized.

 

In the fall of 2006 I had reached the point where I was seriously considering surgery. I discussed my condition with a friend in my yoga class who shared the same problem.  We were both trying to find a potential surgeon. One week she told me that she knew a woman who had gotten incredible non-surgical results with a form a treatment called visceral manipulation.  This is a form of healing that originated from a French physician named Jean-Pierre Barral.  I learned that someone from my own backyard (Bastyr University) had studied with Dr. Barral and practiced in Seattle.

 

In December 2006 I had my first visit with Dr. Ron Mariotti.  The treatment was akin to a sort of massage with the difference that Dr. Mariotti was gently moving organs.  The results were miraculous.  My bladder retreated and I quit having accidents and constant leaking.

 

My digestion improved. I have also been free of lower back pain since working with Dr. Mariotti.

 

I see Dr. Mariotti about every 3 -6 months for a tune up and enjoy worry-free bladder health.

I am thrilled with the results and wanted to pass on this story.  It sure beats any of the conventional options.
