Fertility Massage - Faq’s
When is the best time in my cycle to have a fertility support massage?
You can have this treatment anywhere in your cycle, except on the heaviest bleed days of your period. If you are not having any issues with your cycle and you are looking to have the massage to help in the lead up to your fertile window, I recommend having a treatment monthly, between the end of your period and prior to your fertile window.
How often should I have the fertility massage?
This will be different from woman to woman - if you have a lot of tension in your hips and abdominal or womb area and are experiencing issues with your cycle. I would recommend having 3 treatments closer together every 7-10 days and if relevant missing out any days you are having a period. I would then re-assess with yourself, as to whether we have seen improvements and advise monthly treatments after that, if you are trying to conceive naturally.
I am going through assisted conception - when should I start massage treatments, and when is best to have it?
If you haven’t started your fertility treatment as yet, having a treatment in preperation for the assisted cycle is something you can do. Once you have started your fertility treatment you can have a fertility massage on the run up to egg retrieval and then another one just prior to your transfer. Or in the case of a frozen cycle having a couple of massage treatments weekly in preperation for the transfer.
I have painful periods will this help?
Period Pain can be caused by various factors - if you have tension in your hips, abdomen and around your womb area, this can be exacerbated prior and during your period due to chemical and hormonal changes at that time. This massage can help release the tension, emotionally and physically and in doing this the pain you experience during your period may be lessened.
What happens during a fertility massage treatment?
I will ask you to complete an online form prior to your appointment. This will help me tailor the treatment to you by getting to know a bit about you, your situation and how you are experiencing your cycle, periods and any other symptoms you may be having. The first part of the treatment will be focused on your hips, lower back and sacrum. When you turn over on the table, I will be working on your abdomen in flow with your digestive system and your lower abdomen where your womb area is. The treatment also includes some energy work in the form of reiki which is deeply relaxing and is working on your physical. emotional, mental and spiritual levels. I also may work on some acupressure points on your body, that will help facilitate the energy flow around your body and womb area.
