Does Pelvic Health Matter for Fertility?
Navigating your pelvic health journey with family planning might be something you haven’t heard of before but there are many ways it can support you. Finding the right time and space could be an assisting factor to your overall outcomes as a supporting tool rather than a replacement to traditional medicine and doctors.
Tension & Over stretched PFM
A common sign you might be having pelvic floor muscle (PFM) tension are: lower back pain, hip pain, pain during sex, incontinence, constipation and a previous history of hernias. These are often overlooked at a typical gynecological visit or treatment but can be a factor to something else going on. Tension and overly relaxed muscles can be a big difference to knowing what could be happening even before planning begins.
Mobility
When your joints feels stiff and aching we commonly will start to have a certain level of mobility restrictions. You might feel this just day to day doing tasks but also could be seen in some clients with difficulties during intercourse and climax. The goal is to allow the movements of the joints (there are many) in the hips and overall creating a better foundation in your pelvic floor for assisting overall outcomes.
Stress Management
Now we all know stress is an issue it every aspect of life but do you know how vital it can be to conceiving and overall health of your cycles? There are a few deeper thoughts to this from an epigenetics stand point and trauma passing down but there are also ways that each of us individually cope. Being able to learn this in your body and ways to move with and through it are a supporting factor to your fertility.
