🌿 Release the Lumbopelvic Region to Boost Fertility: ANFÒM FITNESS’s Holistic Approach

At ANFÒM FITNESS, we firmly believe that the body holds a natural wisdom capable of regaining balance when we offer it space for regeneration, movement, wellness… and gentleness. One of the fundamental pillars of this approach concerns the lumbopelvic region, a true crossroads between the spine, pelvis, hip, and… the center of our feminine vitality.

But what happens when this area is contracted, tense, or inflamed? And if these imbalances could affect more than we think… even influencing fertility ?

🔍The subtle connection between pelvic tension, inflammation, and fertility

The lumbopelvic region is home to numerous nervous, circulatory, and hormonal exchanges. Chronic tension, persistent inflammation, or misalignment in this area can:

• Disrupt blood flow to reproductive organs

• Dysregulate the hormonal system

• Increase production of inflammatory prostaglandins (often responsible for menstrual pain)

• Affect the innervation of the uterus and ovaries

These combined factors can sometimes create a less favorable environment for conception.

💡The holistic ANFÒM approach: realign, release, and nourish

Our approach is holistic, accessible, and respectful of your rhythm. Here are the 5 pillars of our approach:

1. 🍓 Anti-inflammatory nutrition

We start from within: an anti-inflammatory diet is one of the first keys to supporting natural fertility.

Avoid:

• Ultra-processed products, refined sugars

• Industrial dairy, excess gluten

• Oxidized vegetable oils (sunflower, corn)

• Alcohol, excessive coffee, fried foods

Prioritize:

• Red fruits, green vegetables (spinach, kale)

• Fatty fish (salmon, sardines)

• Flax seeds, pumpkin seeds, nuts

• Turmeric, ginger, extra virgin olive oil

2. 🧘🏽‍♀️ Body release: movement & uterine massage

Movement is vital to circulate stagnant energy :

• Gentle yoga, intuitive dance, modified step

• Daily walking, psoas stretching

• Abdominal and uterine massage to improve blood flow and release deep tension

3.⚕️ Acupuncture & Chinese energetic medicine

Acupuncture is a great natural ally to support fertility and free the pelvic region. Here’s how it works:

• Promotes circulation in the pelvis

  • Improves irrigation of the uterus and ovaries

  • Oxygenates tissues and supports the endometrium

• Decreases inflammation and pelvic tension

  • Releases energy stagnation points around the psoas, sacrum, and pelvis

  • Relieves menstrual pain, endometriosis, and lower back tension

• Rebalances the hormonal system

  • Stimulates the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis

  • Encourages progesterone production and cycle regularity

• Soothes stress and promotes relaxation

  • Reduces cortisol (stress hormone)

  • Increases serotonin for a calmer cycle

🕒 Ideally : 1 session per week for 2 to 3 cycles, adapted to each phase of the cycle. Some practitioners also add moxibustion to stimulate warmth and flow in the lower belly (recommendations vary by specialist).

• Regular sleep routine
