This is a question we receive regularly at Amilda. During the stimulation phase of IVF, when hormone injections are being given, we recommend avoiding intensive body massage as the ovaries are enlarged and the body is in a sensitive state.
However, gentle treatments are generally well tolerated. Our CTR Face Massagewhich focuses entirely on the face, neck and shoulders, is suitable during this period.
Our Lymphatic Drainage Massage,which uses very gentle rhythmic pressure, is also an option and can help support the body's fluid balance and reduce the stress that often accompanies the IVF process.
We always recommend checking with your fertility specialist or gynaecologist before booking during any phase of IVF treatment. Every situation is individual and your doctor's guidance takes priority.
