Massage for Fertility Enhancement
Fertility Massage is a 1-hour specific massage protocol with the focus of supporting a couple conceiving. Fertility Massage can be used for both natural conception and medically supported conception. Fertility Massage can be done on women before ovulation and men at any time.
Techniques used include:
- Cranial sacral holds to balance and align
- Jaw release to release jaw & hips
- Acupressure points to open channels & allow optimal potential for conception
- Colon cleansing & deep pelvic friction to increase blood flow to abdomen
- Reflexology (using endocrine, pituitary, thyroid, adrenal, testes/ovaries, uterus points) to increase potential for conception
Do I have to be having issues with infertility to receive fertility massage?
No. Any woman who wants to become pregnant can have fertility massage. Massage has a cumulative effect thus improving your chances of conceiving with each month of successive treatment. For women, preconception/fertility massage can be done from the end of your menses to ovulation. After ovulation, general relaxation massage is recommended to maintain the effects of the fertility massage. For men, preconception/fertility massage can be performed at anytime.
