Fertility Reflexology
You may just wish to ensure you are well prepared before trying for a
baby, or you may have experienced problems with conceiving. Whichever
situation applies to you, Reflexology can help prepare your body to
achieve a healthier state of balance and readiness for conception.
Lifestyle and dietary advice will be given to complement the Reflexology
sessions, and will be an important component of your treatment.
It
is beneficial for both partners to receive treatment, increasing your
chances of conceiving, encouraging the optimum environment for
conception to take place.
This therapy may also help with male
infertility, caused by a low sperm count or lifestyle issues. Again,
lifestyle and dietary advice will be a crucial part of your treatment.
Medical fertility treatments can be highly stressful, both emotionally
and physically. Reflexology can help alleviate this stress and work
alongside clinical intervention.
Fertility
How can
Reflexology increase my chances of conceiving?
-
By balancing
the endocrine (hormone) system. For example by working on the pituitary
and ovary reflex points you can help activate the body’s own healing
processes to help stimulate ovulation.
- By reducing stress. Women
trying unsuccessfully to become pregnant may have high levels of stress
and anxiety. When under stress we experience several neuro-chemical
changes which can alter the ordered release of hormones that regulate
the maturation and release of an egg. Many doctors agree that over 75%
of our health problems can be caused by stress and tension. Reflexology
can improve nerve and blood supply and a sense of balance on the body.
- Treating the spine and corresponding spinal nerves which affect
the whole reproductive area.
• Working on the lymphatic system to
stimulate the immune system, particularly important when considering the balance of healthy mucous membranes.
-
Cleansing,
particularly the large intestine and the liver.
It is
recommended to have Reflexology treatments weekly for a minimum period
of 6-8 weeks, preferably longer initially. Weekly treatments should be followed
with, ideally a treatment at fortnightly intervals.
Duration: Usually 1 hr initial consultation will be longer.
