Q & A
What does a shiatsu for fertility look like?
Shiatsu for fertility is similar to any shiatsu treatment. It is performed fully clothed, with pressure applied along the energetic meridians and on specific acupressure points. It typically includes stretching and mobilization, and sometimes visualizations and breathing exercises to deepen relaxation and enhance the connection with physiological functions. Some exercises may be recommended for you to continue at home, either alone or with your partner. Shiatsu is suitable for both women and men. Some practitioners offer couple sessions where both partners are treated simultaneously.
When should I/we best start?`For how many sessions?
Since shiatsu focuses on overall well-being and aims at achieving better balance, the sooner you start, the better. It is generally advisable to give your body time to find a new balance: at least 3 months for women and 2.5 months for men. These are the timeframes needed for the maturation of oocytes and spermatogenesis. Depending on your specific situation, a session once a week or every two weeks can be beneficial. It's best to discuss the ideal frequency with your practitioner.
How to find a suitable practitioner?
When searching for a practitioner, inquire about their experience in supporting fertility, both in spontaneous processes and with ART, and ask about their approach. Trust your intuition and consider trying different practitioners until you find the right fit for you. Is there scientific evidence about shiatsu’s efficacy ? While there is limited scientific research on the efficacy of Shiatsu for fertility, there is more substantial evidence regarding acupuncture. Although acupuncture uses different techniques and protocols, it shares foundational principles with shiatsu. It's important to view shiatsu as a complementary therapy alongside conventional treatments and advice.
