Self
Massage Techniques to Enhance Fertility
NOTICE
The
following massage technique is intended as a reference only and not as a medical treatment. The information given here
is designed to help you make informed decisions about your health. It is not intended as a substitute for any tretement
that may have been perscribed by your doctor. Phil Mandley, LMT assumes no liability for injury due to misuse of the
information below. If you suspect that you have a medical problem, I urge you to not perform this technique and seek
competent medical help.
Variations of this self massage technique have been around
for centuries. This technique is great for any woman (not pregnant) who wants to improve her overall reproductive health.
 This
massage is called the Uterus Lift. The first thing you need to do is find your uterus. Some
80 percent of all women carry their uterus below the natural positon in their body. Alot of this has to do with our
upright, standing lifestyle, lack of exercise and poor dietary choices.
The
Technique
1. Lie on your back with your knees slightly raised. (Placing a pillow under your
knees can help relax your back and the muscles and ligaments around your pubic bone).
2. Place your fingertips
of both hands on the top of your pubic bone. The pubic bone is located just slightly below your natural pubic hair line.
3. From the pubic bone, gently press your fingertips down toward your back. Your fingers are now
moving towards your uterus. When you can't go any further, then your're probably under your uterus. (NOTE! YOU
SHOULD NOT FEEL ANY PAIN. IF YOU DO...STOP!)
4. Gently scoop and lift your uterus up toward
your navel. Hold this position 33 seconds, then release.
