There is some evidence to suggest that massaging the uterus may help with embryo implantation. One technique that has shown promise is deep relaxation vibrational massage. This type of massage involves using specific vibrations and movements to relax the muscles and tissues of the uterus.
One study found that women who received deep relaxation vibrational massage before embryo transfer had a higher rate of successful implantation compared to those who did not receive the massage (20). This suggests that the massage may have helped to prepare the uterus for implantation and create a more favorable environment for the embryo.
Another potential benefit of massage for implantation is the reduction of cortisol levels. Cortisol is a stress hormone that can negatively impact fertility and implantation. High levels of cortisol have been associated with decreased implantation rates and increased risk of miscarriage.
Massage has been shown to decrease cortisol levels in women who are experiencing psychological stress. By reducing cortisol levels, massage may help to create a more relaxed and supportive environment for implantation to occur.
In my own experience working with women who are trying to conceive, I have seen the positive impact that massage can have on their overall well-being and fertility journey. Many women find that massage helps them to relax and reduce stress, which can in turn improve their chances of successful implantation.
It is important to note that massage should be done by a trained professional who is experienced in working with fertility and reproductive health. They will have the knowledge and skills to provide a safe and effective massage that is specifically tailored to support implantation.
There is some evidence to suggest that massaging the uterus, particularly through deep relaxation vibrational massage, may help with embryo implantation. This type of massage can help to relax the muscles and tissues of the uterus, creating a more favorable environment for implantation. Additionally, massage has been shown to reduce cortisol levels, which can improve fertility outcomes. However, it is important to consult with a trained professional to ensure that the massage is done safely and effectively.
