The therapeutic women’s massage

The therapeutic women’s massage (TFM) is a very gentle and relaxing, but extremely effective treatment method based on the Stephenson technique of Creative Healing according to Dr. Gowri Motha.

The TFM is a wonderful accompaniment in all phases of being a woman, from puberty, in the monthly menstrual cycle, through the time when you want to have children, pregnancy, birth or miscarriage and the post-menopausal period up to the menopause and beyond. The massage helps the woman to come into loving contact with her own body.

TFM combines elements of massage therapy, acupressure and reflexology. It improves blood circulation and lymph drainage, relieves muscular tension and reduces stress, intensively supplies the uterus and ovaries with oxygen and nutrients, harmonises the hormone balance of the thyroid gland, adrenal glands and ovaries, and stimulates the body’s detoxification function.

The massage is done with organic olive oil and is performed in a seated and supine position. Duration of the massage approx. 60 – 90 minutes.

During the first two days of menstruation, massage should not be performed as it can increase bleeding.

Important note: The therapeutic women’s massage is in no way erotic in nature. It is treated exclusively outside the genitals!

Areas of application for the TFM are:

  • cycle irregularities
  • Desire to have children: stimulation of the ovaries, better blood circulation in the uterus; general relaxation and stress relief
  • Pregnancy (from week 16): Treatment processes adapted to each week of pregnancy to increase well-being.
  • After childbirth: better regression of the uterus, strengthening of the pelvic floor; support after a miscarriage
  • Menopause: hot flashes, sweating, sleep disorders, depressive moods, irritability; sexual displeasure
  • Urogenital system: fibroids, cysts, endometriosis, bladder weakness, incontinence, uterus and/or bladder prolapse
  • Other indications: back pain, sciatica, migraines, high blood pressure, digestive problems, haemorrhoids, detoxification and purification of the body
