Acupuncture can it help you get pregnant?

• Researches have been conducted extensively in the
  past couple of years to evaluate the possible
  benefits acupuncture might have for people who
  are trying to conceive. An Australian trial
  published in 2016 suggests that acupuncture can
  reduce by the 50 the time taken for infertile
  women to conceive. 56 women took part in the
  12-month long trial and they were randomized in
  two groups one receiving lifestyle
  modifications and the other adding acupuncture
  into the mix. Overall, the second group show
  positive influences in the ability to get
  pregnant. The amazing result those who did
  conceive, managed to make it happen in half the
  time the lifestyle modifications only
  participants did.
• In another study presented the ESHRE (European
  Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology) in
  2016 , scientists found that acupuncture is
  extremely beneficial for women undergoing IVF
  therapy. They year-long study showed that the
  participants who received acupuncture in
  conjunction with their regular IVF treatment
  managed to get pregnant at an almost 50 rate
  which is double than for those who received IVF
  alone!

High heels and back pain can acupuncture ease it?

• An integrated study published in 2017 - Study of
  acupuncture for low back pain in recent 20 years
  a bibliometric analysis via CiteSpace, has looked
  back on researches aiming to demonstrate the
  benefits of using acupuncture to treat lower back
  pain caused by high heels, and as well other
  factors such as pregnancy. The evidence showed
  that in the U.S., the therapy has been commonly
  used to treat back pain. To further cement this,
  the potential it holds has been turning heads in
  the science world as well with the U.S., England,
  and Canada having conducted and encouraged the
  most studies around the benefits and deeming
  acupuncture as complimentary medicine with real
  benefits.
• According to the Spine Health Institute , almost
  half of the women aged between 18 and 24 wear
  high heels on the daily basis, with the number
  decreasing with age but still reaching a stunning
  34 for women over 50 years old. This can turn
  into a huge problem in the next couple of years
  if appropriate measures are not taken. Not to
  mention the strain it will put on health system
  with more and more patients seeking treatment. It
  is time to recognize acupuncture as a cost
  effective and efficient player in the treatment
  of back pain.

How to get better faster and more cost-effective
after a stroke

• Studies tell us that accessing physiotherapy
  post-stroke contributes to improved and positive
  outcomes for patients. Evidence points strongly
  towards intensive, highly repetitive,
  task-oriented and task-specific training.
  According to a study observing a healthcare trust
  from the UK that has implemented an integrated
  service model, physiotherapy has made great
  strides with stroke patients.
• By having a professional not only support and
  guide you on the medical side, but also acting as
  a life coach, the program aims to empower the
  patient. Thus increasing the chances of a faster
  healing, optimizing and restoring the bodys
  functions and as well help re-integrate them in
  society. Incredible numbers show a lot of
  promise. Hospitalization time decreased by six
  days, equating in 833,700 saved. Patients also
  benefitted from 75,500 cut from their medical
  bills, with 13 of them returning home.

Good news for mums postpartum anxiety relieved
by massage therapy

• A recent study published in 2017 aims to shed
  light on the benefits of massage therapy in women
  in postpartum anxiety and bring new hope. Around
  10-15 of all new mothers experience this in the
  aftermath of giving birth. Out of these, as many
  as 70 can carry on feeling the so-called baby
  blues for a year or longer . These numbers may
  not mean much to you, but just think that at this
  very moment thousands of women are battling
  symptoms similar to minor to major depression.
• The study conducted in Iran positively reported
  that a slow-stroke back massage for as little as
  a 20 minute session can significantly decrease
  postpartum anxiety symptoms. The technique
  involved participants undergoing a seated massage
  therapy in a quiet room. The therapist started by
  applying light pressure at the shoulder level,
  progressing to the skulls base and down the
  spine and collarbone.
• Straight after the session ended, the subjects
  were given a survey to complete and another one
  the very next morning. The findings were
  impressive and showed that something as simple,
  inexpensive and noninvasive as a back massage can
  make a world of difference in the lives of these
  women and increase their overall quality of life.

Can therapeutic massage help mental well-being?

• Therapeutic massage facilitates psychosocial
  relaxation and reduces stress levels, which are
  the main factors paving the way for mental health
  issues. There have been many studies and cases
  brought to the publics attention throughout
  time. In a study researching the benefits of
  massage therapy in adults with chronic fatigue,
  the results were visible almost straightaway. The
  participants were surveyed right after their
  first massage session, and they reported lower
  scores for depression, stress and anxiety than
  their counterparts. Another study showed that a
  massage for as little as 15 minutes significantly
  decreased blood pressure in 52 participants
  (monitored both prior to the treatment and
  afterwards).
• Interestingly enough, a research from 2015
  examined the effects of therapeutic massage in
  amateur adolescent wrestlers. The 50 pre-selected
  boys underwent a DASS (Depression, Anxiety and
  Stress scale) test to evaluate their general
  mental health level, before undergoing the 10
  massage sessions that were the studys essence.
  The results were incredibly positive, reinforcing
  the benefits of therapeutic massage it not only
  significantly reduced levels of depression,
  anxiety and stress, but it promoted overall
  health.
