Fertility massage is an option to aid in conception when you are ready to have a baby. This is something that both partners can, and should consider to increase your chances of conception. Fertility massage has some similar aspects to regular therapeutic massage, but some other added modalities. Reflexology is used to aid the digestive and reproductive systems. If the digestive system is unhappy, the reproductive system will also be unhappy. In some cases, changing aspects of your diet can further aid in conception. Using a castor oil pack, we aim to further aid the reproductive system and all of the surrounding tissues. Lastly, we use visualizations and affirmations to bring up thoughts and feelings of being pregnant and the future baby.
There are many different benefits that come from this type of massage, some of them include:
- Aiding in conception
- Decreasing everyday stresses and tension
- Helping to heal or further functionality of the digestive system
- Increases circulation to the pelvis and surrounding tissues
- Breaks up adhesions that can come from age or lifestyle ( ie. sitting, working at a desk, etc.)
Many people associate fertility issues with the person giving birth and it is generally up to them to change their diet, lifestyle and many other things to ensure conception. There are many things that can come from their partner and it is always a good idea to both make these changes when you are trying to conceive, including fertility massage. For the person who will be carrying baby, it is important to come in after menstruation and before ovulation. For their partner, they can come anytime.
There are many different practices for you and your partner to do at home as well. Reach out if you have any questions or would like a free consultation to see if this is something that resonates with you.
