A feeling of better circulation, no more painful periods, 30% improvement in fertility, not having to get up at night to urinate—mention just a few results from a correctly placed uterus. This massage technique can also help men with enlarged prostates. It is an easily taught technique that can be done daily at home.

Fertility and Uterine Health

To picture a tilted (right or left), forward, backward, or dropped uterus, see pictorial rendition below:

The optimum position for the uterus is of course the “normal” position. This makes an easier and more direct path for sperm to travel through the cervix. You can imagine the posterior (retroverted and retroflexed) uterus giving sperm a much longer and difficult trip. This retroverted uterus once replaced to normal position assists with 30% of fertility difficulties. The anteflexion—(tipped forward and bent) uterus presents extra pressure on the bladder, sometimes causing bladder infections or at least causing frequent trips to the bathroom, especially at night.

After having my uterus returned to normal position after being anteflexed for years…I can’t tell you how great it is to sleep 8 hours straight—not getting up each night at 3am. Constipation is a common ailment for many displaced uteruses, due to pressure on the colon. A bent uterus stops blood flow during the period forcing an incomplete emptying of the uterine walls, creating an unhealthy breeding ground for the fetus.

Uterine massage, done daily (except during the menstrual cycle) replaces the woman’s uterus to normal position allowing a 30% increase in fertility. The massage creates a healthy uterine wall with complete sluffing off during subsequent periods. The technique can be taught with one full massage @ Bloomington Massage Therapy with 2 or more partial massage visits to follow.

This cost is far less than fertility treatments and can allow for 30% possible pregnancies. Uterine health is very important for all females desiring fertility or not. Either way the woman wins!

Please note: There are certain reasons when uterine massage is NOT a good idea—i.e. after surgeries, uterine cancer, during pregnancies, during menstrual cycles, to mention a few.
