The search for pregnancy can be an exciting and challenging experience for many couples. When the conception process takes longer than expected, questions and concerns may arise about how to improve fertility and increase the chances of becoming pregnant.

Your osteopath in Barcelona can guide you to improve your chances of getting pregnant quickly.

Osteopathy session for conception

In an osteopathy session for conceiving, our specialists, Marina and Nicolas, focus on understanding your background, habits and physical condition in order to provide you with the best possible treatment. Through touch, they investigate and detect possible blockages and tensions in your body that could be affecting your ability to conceive.

Focus on the endocrine system

During the session, special attention is paid to possible blockages related to the endocrine system, which are the glands responsible for producing key hormones for the reproductive cycle. Our osteopaths work to unblock any tension in these glands and restore their hormonal balance, which can increase the chances of conception.

Work on the autonomic nervous system

In addition, stresses on the autonomic nervous system, which plays a crucial role in the regulation of bodily functions such as reproduction, are addressed. Using gentle, non-invasive techniques, the aim is to restore balance in this system in order to optimise reproductive functions.

Osteopathy offers a holistic and natural approach to address potential physical and physiological barriers to conception. By balancing the body and optimising its functioning, osteopathy can increase your chances of becoming pregnant in a natural and healthy way.

Elimination of mechanical blockages

Osteopaths also focus on identifying and correcting any mechanical blockages related to the reproductive system. This may include muscle tension, joint restrictions or any other dysfunction that may affect fertility.

Personalised recommendations

Based on their experience and training in various complementary medicine disciplines, such as naturopathy, Chinese medicine and Ayurveda, our osteopaths can offer you personalised recommendations. These may include specific exercises, dietary advice or the use of herbal medicines to support your journey to conception.

Duration and additional recommendations

An osteopathy session for conception usually lasts about an hour. It is recommended that you bring any relevant blood tests or other examinations to help the osteopaths better understand your situation. Also, if you are looking to get pregnant quickly, consider osteopathy as an integral component of your conception strategy. Osteopathy can also help you during pregnancy.

Integrating osteopathy into your conception journey

If you are looking to conceive, consider integrating osteopathy as part of your holistic approach to health and wellness.

With its gentle, whole-body approach, osteopathy can offer significant fertility benefits and help you achieve your conception goals in a natural and healthy way.

The impact of osteopathy on conception

Osteopathy, with its gentle and non-invasive approach, can have a significant impact on the ability to conceive. By addressing potential tensions and blockages in the body that can affect the reproductive system, osteopathy helps to create an optimal environment for getting pregnant.

Restoring hormonal balance

Restoring hormonal balance

One of the key aspects of osteopathic treatment for conception is the restoration of hormonal balance. The endocrine glands play a key role in regulating fertility-related hormones. By unblocking possible tensions in these glands, osteopathy can promote a healthy hormonal balance, which increases the chances of conception.

Improving reproductive function

Improving reproductive function

In addition to balancing hormones, osteopathy can also improve reproductive function by addressing any mechanical blockages in the reproductive system. This includes releasing tension in the muscles, joints and connective tissues associated with the uterus, ovaries and other reproductive structures.

Reducing stress and anxiety

Reducing stress and anxiety

Stress and anxiety can have a negative impact on fertility by affecting hormonal balance and reproductive function. Osteopathy, by promoting relaxation and reducing tension in the body, can help reduce stress and anxiety, creating an environment more conducive to conception.

Supporting emotional well-being

Supporting emotional well-being

In addition to the physical aspects of fertility, osteopathy can also support emotional wellbeing during the conception process. By providing a safe and supportive space to explore any emotional challenges related to fertility, osteopaths can help women feel more calm and empowered in their journey towards conception.

How to get pregnant : frequently asked questions

Nicolas and Marina answer your questions about osteopathy, pregnancy and conception.

  • Having regular sexual intercourse during a woman's fertile period, which is usually around the time of ovulation.
  • Lead a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise and avoiding stress.
  • Follow an ovulation calendar to identify the most fertile days of the menstrual cycle.
  • Consult a doctor to assess reproductive health and consider possible treatments or interventions if there are difficulties in conceiving.

For more tips, you can consult the website of the Mayo Clinic.

It is not necessary to lie down after sex to increase your chances of getting pregnant. Sperm can move quickly to the cervix and uterus in a matter of minutes, so it is not necessary to lie down to help them on their way. However, some couples may choose to rest for a few minutes after intercourse to relax and enjoy the moment.
A woman's fertility can be assessed by home ovulation tests, which detect levels of luteinising hormone (LH) in the urine, which increases just before ovulation. In addition, a doctor can perform fertility tests, including blood tests to measure hormone levels and imaging tests to assess reproductive health. It is important to keep in mind that fertility can vary and that not all tests are definitive. If you have concerns about your fertility, it is advisable to consult a fertility doctor.

There are no specific methods to stimulate the ovaries to become pregnant.


Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise and avoiding stress, can help maintain ovarian health and improve the chances of conceiving.

In some cases, a doctor may recommend medication or fertility treatments to stimulate ovulation in women who are having difficulty conceiving due to ovarian problems.

Osteopathy in pregnancy is a form of complementary medicine that focuses on the treatment of tensions and imbalances in the body during pregnancy.


Osteopaths specialising in pregnancy use gentle, non-invasive techniques to relieve pain, improve mobility and promote general wellbeing during pregnancy.


Osteopathy can help relieve common discomforts such as lower back pain, pelvic pain, heartburn and bloating, and can also help prepare the body for childbirth.

Perform Kegel exercises regularly to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles. Practice prenatal yoga or Pilates to improve pelvic floor strength and flexibility. Consult a pelvic floor physiotherapist to learn specific exercises and relaxation techniques.


Consider antenatal osteopathy to help relieve tension and improve pelvic floor function during pregnancy.

The number of osteopathy sessions during pregnancy may vary according to the individual needs of each woman.

Some women may benefit from a single session to relieve acute discomfort or specific stresses, while others may opt for a longer treatment plan to address chronic problems or maintain general well-being throughout pregnancy.


It is important to work with an osteopath who specialises in pregnancy to develop a personalised treatment plan that is tailored to your specific needs and goals during pregnancy.
