Fertility is rarely just about timing—it’s about the overall environment within your body.
Many women today are choosing to support their fertility in a more comprehensive way, combining medical treatments like IVF or IUI with therapies that improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and support how the body functions as a whole.
At our Los Angeles clinic, we offer integrative fertility support designed to work alongside traditional care or on its own. These therapies are gentle, non-invasive, and focused on helping your body function at its best.
What Therapies Can Help Support Fertility Naturally?
Supportive fertility care often focuses on three key areas:
- Healthy blood flow to reproductive organs
- Strong cellular (mitochondrial) function for egg quality
- Balanced pelvic floor muscles and tissue mobility
Our approach addresses each of these through three complementary therapies.
SoftWave Therapy: Supporting Blood Flow and Tissue Health
SoftWave Therapy is a form of low-intensity shockwave therapy that helps stimulate healing and circulation at a cellular level.
For women trying to conceive, this may help:
- Increase blood flow to the uterus and ovaries
- Reduce inflammation in pelvic tissues
- Break down scar tissue or adhesions
- Improve muscle relaxation in the pelvic region
Circulation plays an important role in supporting the uterine lining and overall reproductive health.
Some women also experience increased pelvic floor tension, which can make intercourse uncomfortable. By improving tissue quality and reducing muscle tightness, this therapy can support both comfort and function.
Research has shown that low-intensity shockwave therapy promotes angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels) and tissue regeneration, both important for healing and circulation (Wang, 2012; d’Agostino et al., 2015).

Red and Near-Infrared Light Therapy: Supporting Egg Quality and Cellular Health
Red and near-infrared light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation, works by supporting how your cells produce energy.
This therapy may:
- Improve mitochondrial function (important for egg quality)
- Reduce oxidative stress
- Support ovarian function
- Increase blood flow to reproductive organs
Egg quality is closely tied to mitochondrial health, which is why this therapy is often used as part of a fertility-supportive plan.
Research has shown that photobiomodulation can improve mitochondrial efficiency and reduce inflammation (Hamblin, 2017). Early studies also suggest it may support ovarian function and improve outcomes in fertility treatments (Ohshiro et al., 2016).
Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy: Creating a Supportive Environment for Conception
The physical and structural health of the pelvis can play an important role in fertility.
Our abdominal and pelvic floor physical therapy focuses on:
- Releasing fascial restrictions around reproductive organs
- Improving mobility of the uterus and surrounding tissues
- Normalizing pelvic floor muscle tone
- Reducing pain that may interfere with intercourse
Tight or overactive pelvic floor muscles can contribute to discomfort, stress, and difficulty with penetrative intercourse. Restrictions in connective tissue may also affect circulation and organ mobility.
By improving mobility and reducing tension, we help create a more supportive environment for conception.
Manual therapy has been shown to improve mobility and reduce adhesions in the pelvic region (Rice et al., 2013), and pelvic floor dysfunction has been linked to pain with intercourse and related reproductive challenges (Reissing et al., 2005).
Is It Helpful to Combine These Therapies?
In many cases, combining therapies can provide more comprehensive support.
Each approach works on a different level:
- SoftWave Therapy supports circulation and tissue health
- Light Therapy supports cellular energy and egg quality
- Physical Therapy supports mobility and pelvic floor function
Together, they help support:
- Improved blood flow
- Healthier cellular function
- Reduced tension and restriction in the pelvis
This can be especially helpful for women preparing for IVF or IUI, as well as those trying to conceive naturally.
Who May Benefit From This Approach?
This type of care may be helpful if you:
- Are preparing for or currently undergoing fertility treatments
- Have been trying to conceive without clear answers
- Experience pelvic pain or discomfort with intercourse
- Have a history of endometriosis, surgery, or adhesions
- Want to support your fertility in a more proactive, whole-body way
Supporting You Where You Are in Your Fertility Journey
There is no single path when it comes to fertility. For many women, having additional support—especially care that focuses on how the body feels and functions—can make a meaningful difference.
Whether you are early in the process or have been navigating this for some time, these therapies are designed to meet you where you are and support your next steps.
