The aim of fertility reflexology is to enhance the chances of a natural conception by trying to create the best possible emotional and physical environment for pregnancy.
Prior to reflexology both partners should consult a G.P. or specialists for a diagnosis regarding the cause of infertility/sub-fertility. Reflexology treats the impact of stress on health, creating a good basis for fertility. By treating the mind, body and spirit holistically, reflexology balances and harmonises.
Client may need support during the physical impact of IVF/IUI and ICSI treatments. Reflexology aims to support, relax and keep balance during conventional fertility drug treatments.
Ideally reflexology treatments would start about 6 weeks prior to IVF, with treatments once a week. The aim is to prepare mind and body, aiding relaxation which in turn may aid hormonal balance and detoxification. This helps the client to stay calm and positive during treatments. Its advised that drugs given during an IVF treatment do not appear to bs affected by reflexology treatments and there is no reason why a person should not be receiving reflexology at the same time.
Reflexology treatments can be given during the two week wait and following any failed cycles and miscarriages to help relax, sleep and recover.
