Pelvic Massage

Pelvic massage is for women who have adhesions in their reproductive tract. Adhesions act like glue -- disrupting the function of affected organs. The massage involves gentle stretching to loosen tightened areas of soft tissue and is continued until the tension is released. The goal is to decrease adhesions in and around the organs, ligaments, muscles, joints and support structures of the pelvis, abdomen, hips and lower back. It is gentle and noninvasive and has a success rate of 71% (IVF's success rate is as low as 20%).

Retraining pelvic organs to return to their normal status and function is the common sense approach to increasing your chance of conceiving and improving your health at the same time.


Pelvic massage has proven to help the following issues:

»  Infertility
»  Endometriosis
»  Poly cystic Ovarian Syndrome
»  Pelvic Scaring or adhesions from previous surgery
»  Sexual Abuse trauma
»  Persistent pelvic pain
»  Anovulation
»  Amenorrhea
»  Sexual function
»  Abortions
»  Appendicitis, gastritis, other abdominal inflammations

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Adhesions develop through a woman's lifetime in various ways:

●  Abdominal or pelvic surgery
●  Back surgery
●  Endometriosis, sexually transmitted disease, IUD
●  Fall onto hip, buttocks, or tailbone
●  Hip surgery
●  Low back, hip, or leg pain
●  Pain or cramps in abdomen or groin
●  Pain with sitting or with sexual intercourse
●  Pelvic inflammatory disease, bladder or yeast
    infections
●  Physical trauma or vehicle accident

Fertility & In Vetro Fertilization Facts

Infertility plagues an estimated 9 million women. One in vetro fertilization (IVF) attempt costs between $12,000 and $15,000, and you have no guarantees of getting pregnant. For some, this is not even a consideration. And for others who choose to take the chance with in vetro fertilization (IVF), they will have 1 or more failed attempts–  extremely expensive attempts. After going through the emotional roller coaster and hormonal imbalances that go with IVF, the treatment can be absolutely exhausting and depressing and your goal of getting pregnant still has yet to be achieved.

Where do you go from there? Do you have an alternative choice to IVF? We believe you do.
A study recently released from a Florida clinic has proven that pelvic massage has a pregnancy rate of 71% as a natural, stand alone therapy and has a rate of 67% as a therapy prior to in vitro fertilization.
