Enhancing Fertility with Abdominal Therapy
A small but fascinating case series published in the Journal of the American Osteopathic Association explored how manual abdominal and sacral therapy may support fertility in women experiencing challenges conceiving.
The study followed 10 women with fertility difficulties who received hands-on abdominal and sacral treatment. The therapy focused on:
• releasing fascial restrictions
• mobilising ligaments
• scar work
• improving lymphatic flow and pelvic congestion
The outcomes were striking.
6 out of the 10 women conceived within 3 months of receiving manual pelvic therapy — a 60% conception rate, comparable to that of couples with no known fertility issues.
The authors concluded that manual therapy applied to the pelvis may be a viable treatment option for some women experiencing infertility.
If this speaks to you, I offer abdominal therapy that works gently and deeply with fascia, lymph, ligaments, and visceral / pelvic tissues, supporting the body to unwind and restore balance.
