Reflexology for Infertility
In 65% of cases examined by conventional medicine, the underlying causes of infertility are unknown, and sometimes the inability to conceive is purely because the woman or man is not in a suitable condition physically or mentally.
In this context, reflexology can assist in helping to achieve the best possible health condition so nature will perceive the body as ready to create a new person.
This is done by:
- balancing the endocrine (hormone) system
- reducing stress. Women trying unsuccessfully to become pregnant may have levels of stress, in terms of anxiety and depression, equivalent to women with serious diseases. When we are under stress we experience several neurochemical changes which can alter the ordered release of hormones that regulate the maturation and release of an egg.
- Treating the spine and corresponding spinal nerves which affect the whole reproductive area.
- Testing and working on the psoas muscle, tightness of which can be a neglected cause of many pelvic problems
- using a lymphatic technique to stimulate the immune system, important particularly when considering the importance of healthy mucous membranes
- cleansing, particularly the large intestine and the liver
Using my knowledge of naturopathic nutrition I will also carry out a very detailed consultation of my client’s medical history, diet and lifestyle to see whether there are any deficiencies which can be addressed in terms of nutrition and/or supplementation.
It is often helpful to treat both partners to make sure that we are achieving the optimum environment for conception to take place.
The techniques used by Lizzie include those learnt from her training with Suzanne Enzer, a pioneer of Maternity Reflexology, and those used at the world renowned Touchpoint in Denmark, specialists in treating infertitlity with reflexology.
