Trying to become pregnant? Massage therapy can help facilitate the conception process
Service Description
Trying to become pregnant? Massage therapy can help facilitate the conception process physically by breaking up adhesion with deep tissue or trigger point massage and increasing pelvic blood supply, and emotionally by reducing stress and cortisol levels. Whether you're trying naturally or in conjunction with appropriate medical treatment, massage therapy can help. In fact, research shows the pregnancy rate for women treated with massage techniques prior to their next IVF transfer to be 63% higher than the national average success rate for IVF. A study published in "Health Daily News" shows that women with high cortisol levels (which measures stress) are three times more likely to miscarry during the first three weeks after conception. Massage therapy can significantly reduce cortisol levels and therefore the likelihood of a miscarriage.
