Wat is osteopathie: Een ondersteunende aanpak voor een kinderwens

If you have a desire to have children you are probably busy with a healthy lifestyle, good nutrition and perhaps supplements. But have you ever thought about osteopathy? Osteopathy can provide valuable support in realizing your dream.

What is osteopathy?

Osteopathy is a manual therapy that focuses on restoring the body's mobility. An osteopath examines and treats the body as a whole, with a focus on the coherence between different systems. Think of the musculoskeletal system, the nervous system, the organs and the circulatory system.

How can osteopathy help with a desire to have children?

Osteopathy can have a positive influence on fertility in several ways, in both women and men.

Hormonal balance: Osteopathy can improve the mobility of the skull, which is important for the function of the hypothalamus and pituitary glands. These glands play a crucial role in the production and transport of hormones that regulate the menstrual cycle and fertility.
Blood flow: By optimizing the mobility of the sacrum and spine, blood flow to the pelvic organs can be improved. This is essential for the proper functioning of the ovaries and uterus.
Mobility of the abdomen and pelvis: Adhesions or tension in the abdomen and pelvis, for example as a result of an operation or endometriosis, can hinder fertility. Osteopathy can help to release these tensions and restore mobility.
Support for IVF/IUI: Osteopathy can be a valuable addition to fertility treatments such as IVF and IUI. By optimally preparing the body, the chance of a successful pregnancy can be increased.

Factors for a successful pregnancy

In addition to good health and a balanced hormone balance, there are other factors that play a role in becoming pregnant:

The health of both partners
Good quality of the male sperm
A healthy condition of the uterus
Good circulation and movement in general
Absence of other factors such as stress, smoking and alcohol consumption

What happens in the body during pregnancy?

For a successful pregnancy it is important that the sperm is of good quality. In the woman, the eggs must mature well and ovulation must take place. The egg must come into contact with the sperm in the fallopian tube, after which fertilization can take place. The fallopian tube must be open for this. If the fertilization is successful, a few days later the implantation place in the uterus. The acidity and the lining of the uterus must be in good condition for this. If that is in order, the placenta develops, which is important for good blood flow and nutrition of the fetus, so that it can continue to grow and develop.
