Fertility Massage: How it Works to Boost Fertility

A fertility massage is among the most commonly adopted, alternative means of treatment for curing infertility. Fertility massages can be done at home with some guidance or sought from professional fertility massage specialists. However, before using fertility massages, it is important that the functioning of these massages and their affect on the body is fully understood.

Every fertility massage specialist uses various massaging approaches in varying permutations to yield the required results. A fertility massage can incorporate one or all of the following massaging actions to boost fertility.

Deep Tissue Healing through Infertility Massage

Most of fertility massages are essentially deep tissue massages that are done in slow but thorough manner to ensure that the massaging action is able to induce a soothing action within the tissues. These massages are usually conducted using oils that are readily absorbed by the oil and help in generating a minimal degree of heat that has a controlled healing action.

Deep tissues massaging techniques are considered helpful for breaking-up any adhesion or underlying compaction of tissue that might be causing infertility. This is commonly seen in treating blocked fallopian tubes. It is also suited for people who are suffering from infertility due to hormonal imbalance caused by poor circulation. Such massages are able to restore the proper blood flow in the body, ensuring that each of the reproductive organs is nourished and re-activated.

The deep seated action of fertility massages is particularly helpful in infertility causes like:

  • Tight fascia of vagina and uterus
  • Undiagnosed internal inflammation
  • Congested or twisted fallopian tubes
  • Lack of contractions in endometrial tissues
  • Extensive scar tissue formation in uterine area
  • Adhesions formed in reproductive tract due to past injuries or surgeries

Acupuncture-like Healing through Fertility Massage

Most fertility massages also encompass some bits of traditional Chinese healing philosophy associated with acupressure. Here, the attending masseur ensures that while massaging the body, some specific points or energy centers are pressed upon. This is done because according to the principles of acupuncture, infertility is one of the many conditions caused by the flawed energy (Qi) balances in the body. However, rather than applying needles that is seen in acupuncture sessions, fertility massages seek to press upon and stimulate the dormant energy points.

Common applications of acupuncture-influenced, specific massages include treatment of PCOS or Poly Cystic Ovary Syndrome. This is one of the most challenging fertility conditions since it induces multiple symptoms but doesn’t have a definite cure. PCOS causes large-scale hormonal imbalances. Here, fertility massages are aimed at stimulating each of the female body organs that help in improving ovulation, menstruation and greater blood circulation to the ovaries.

Fertility Massage for Treating Specific Causes of Infertility

Along with the above two approaches, some fertility massages involve other sciences like reflexology. During such fertility massages, pressure is applied to certain points on the feet. In reflexology, it is understood that every point on the feet has a controlling action on a specific organ within the body. Thus, when such pressure points are gently massaged, the related reproductive organ is stimulated. This is a recommended way to treat infertility caused by specific organs. Examples of such fertility massages include:

  • Ovary Massages—ovaries are often suffocated due to an impaired ovulation cycle wherein they suffer from a lack of nutrients and oxygenated blood. Fertility massages using reflexology principles are particularly useful for restoring disturbed ovulation and menstruation cycles.
  • Uterine Massages—the uterus is located within the pelvic cavity. It is the site for the fertilization of the egg. Fertility massage helps to stimulate the natural healing process within a uterus that is too dry, tilted or compressed by a constipated colon.
