Reflexology for Fertility

The Association of Reflexologists believes that reflexology treatments can be of great benefit to clients suffering from infertility. Feedback from Reflexologists shows that on average about 50% of clients seeking help through Reflexology for infertility, become pregnant within 6 months of commencing treatment.

Experiencing infertility can be a highly stressful and tense time for both partners. Stress plays a significant factor in the ability to conceive. That is why it is important to focus on alleviating stress as this reduction is likely to have a positive impact on the endocrine system. By taking this approach and recommending appropriate lifestyle changes, a significant number of women will conceive.

It is also important to note that there are reflexology treatments not just for the female parter but also for the male partner as anxieties and worries will be transferred from one partner to the other.

If you are already undergoing fertility treatment, Reflexology is not known to have any detrimental or negative effect on this treatment. Drugs which are used to control the hormone cycle and stimulate ovulation do not appear to be affected by a client receiving reflexology and it's common for couples undergoing IVF to receive Reflexology at the same time.
