Fertility Massage, Yoga, and Acupuncture now available at the Women's Wellness and Education Center.
Ruth MacNair is a nationally
certified massage therapist with specialty training in prenatal massage and
fertility massage.
Fertility massage is
proven to reduce stress which better allows for successful natural and IVF
conception.
This highly specialized massage is relaxing and deep
allowing the body to
open, cleanse and balance to prepare for conception.
Deep specific techniques
are used within each session:
-Castor oil packs to
begin the cleansing process
-Jaw release to loosen
the hip and pelvic regions
-Cranial-sacral energy
work for support
-Reflexology or
stimulation of points in the hands and feet
-Abdominal massage to
assist with the digestive process
-Pelvic friction, done
over the sheet, to increase the blood flow to the spine, reproductive organs
and pelvic region
-Relaxation techniques:
visualization, meditation, prayer, intention.
The preconception period
can be an extremely stressful time for everyone involved. Studies have found
that massage therapy works to decrease the body's physical signals of stress,
such as heart rate and brain waves, which some experts say may play a role in
the ability to conceive. Fertility massage is not intended to replace medical procedures
however; it can be done on its own or to compliment medical fertility
treatment. If you are currently under the care of a doctor you should consult
with them about any form of care that you receive.
