Feet in Fleet Reflexology and Fertility

Here's what the Association of Reproductive Reflexologists have to say about Secondary Infertility 🤗

Secondary infertility can be experienced by parents who had a smooth and uneventful first pregnancy.

Parents experiencing difficulty in getting pregnant a second time around often feel confused and upset, wondering what they did wrong. But it's more common than you might think.

The Times newspaper in the UK has run a couple of stories on this recently and they wrote:

"Fertility specialists say they are seeing more patients like this. Secondary infertility is estimated to affect about one in 20 couples trying for a second child."

One of the ways couples overcome secondary infertility is by using reproductive reflexology as a treatment.

In fact, our highly trained reproductive reflexologists regularly report successes supporting families to overcome secondary infertility alongside more traditional medical support.

In our system "Reproflexology™" testing, specific & prescriptive treatment protocols to address fertility health for both men and women, regulating menstrual cycles and working with men to improve s***m production and functionality are just some of the ways we support couples to become pregnant.

You can find a local reproductive reflexologist by using the global directory on our website.

Let’s Talk About Male Fertility: Breaking the Silence

When the topic of fertility arises, the conversation often leans heavily toward female health—but did you know that male fertility accounts for one-third of all fertility issues? In fact, another third is due to both partners, and only the final third is attributed to female factors alone.

Yet somehow, the narrative tends to place most of the pressure—and even blame—on women. It’s time to change that.

🧬 Male Fertility: It’s About More Than Just S***m Count
There’s a common misconception that a high s***m count is the only measure of male fertility. But the truth is, s***m health is far more complex than numbers alone.

To support successful conception, s***m need to:

Swim well: Speed and direction matter. They must reach the egg efficiently.

Be the right shape: Abnormal morphology (shape) can prevent fertilisation—and is also linked to recurrent miscarriage.

Survive and thrive in healthy semen: The quality of the surrounding fluid (semen) is just as crucial for protecting and transporting s***m.

In short, motility (movement), morphology (shape), and semen quality all play key roles in male reproductive health.

🧪 Time to Test, Time to Talk
Too often, fertility investigations start and end with the female partner. But with male factors being just as common, early and thorough testing for both partners is essential.

And men—it’s time to talk.

Struggling in silence doesn’t serve you, your partner, or your wellbeing. Opening up the conversation helps challenge outdated perceptions and creates a space for better support, better decisions, and ultimately, better outcomes.

💡 What Can You Do?
If you're trying to conceive, speak to your GP or fertility specialist about a semen analysis.

Support your reproductive health with lifestyle changes: a balanced diet, stress reduction, reduced alcohol, and avoiding to***co and heat exposure.

Consider complementary therapies like reproflexology, which is tailored to support male reproductive health naturally.

And most importantly—talk about it.

Fertility is not just a women’s issue. Let’s normalise the conversation around male fertility, remove the stigma, and empower all individuals on the path to parenthood.

🤰 Top Tip for Helping Your Baby Find the Optimal Birth Position! 🌀

Did you know that your daily movements and posture can help encourage your baby into the best position for birth? 🤗✨

🌟 Top Tip: Use Forward-Leaning & Upright Positions 🌟

➡️ Spend some time sitting on a birthing ball instead of slouching on the sofa. 🏐
➡️ Spend time in a hands-and-knees position to give baby space to move. 🧘‍♀️
➡️ Avoid reclining for long periods—think open hips & forward tilting pelvis!
➡️ Walk, stretch, and do gentle pregnancy yoga to keep things aligned. 🚶‍♀️

Encouraging your baby into an optimal head-down position (LOA - Left Occiput Anterior) can lead to a smoother, more efficient labour and a more comfortable birth experience. 💕

✨ Have you been trying any of these techniques? Let me know in the comments! ⬇️

In addition to enhancing fertility by working with your own body’s mechanisms, Reproflexology™ has several physical and mental health and wellbeing benefits.

Couples who experience difficulties conceiving naturally often reach a point where they feel stressed, tense, anxious and exhausted. Reflexology is a relaxing, non-invasive complementary therapy, frequently found to reduce stress, alleviate pain and reduce symptoms associated with some reproductive health conditions.

Reproductive reflexology may help to regulate a woman’s menstrual cycle and reduce the pain and symptoms of PMS. Overall, it can leave you feeling calmer, more balanced and more able to sleep.

This is what our members learn about as part of their Reproflexology™ course work. It's not just the fertility enhancements it's working with the whole person, for both parents.

You’ve just grown a human for 9 months, birthed them into the world, and now you’re responsible for their survival. But guess what? YOU need recovery too!

💡 The best postnatal advice? A week in bed, a week on the sofa.
🚫 No, this isn’t ‘lazy.’ It’s necessary!

✔️ Your baby will love the warm, calm environment.
✔️ Your body needs this time to heal and replenish energy.
✔️ Rushing too soon = exhaustion (trust us, we see it all the time!).

Midwives have been recommending this for years. Let’s bring it back! 💛

So vernix protects the newborn’s skin in utero and eases the passage of the baby though the birth canal…
but… what else does it do?
It continues to protect the newborn’s skin after birth and promotes the development of the skin’s natural barrier.
It contributes to thermoregulation and provides an anti microbial barrier that protects from infection.
But…here’s the big new one.
It’s composition is different for newborn boys and girls. We really don’t know why yet but how cool is that?
So whatever you do.. don’t wash it off.

🔥Inflammation 🔥

Inflammation is the body's natural response to injury or infection, playing a crucial protective role in healing (acute inflammation).

However, when inflammation lingers or begins to affect healthy tissues, it can become harmful (chronic inflammation). Chronic inflammation impacts every system in the body—and its effects are far-reaching!

Take a look at the diagram to explore the common triggers of inflammation and the conditions it can contribute to over time.
