Pelvic pain is debilitating. For many women, it comes after seeing multiple providers with no clear answers. That cycle of frustration and lost hope is something we see often at pelvRX, and it is exactly why we take a full body approach to figuring out the why behind your pain, not just managing the symptoms.
Deep breathing is often one of the first things we introduce to patients dealing with pelvic pain. It is simple, free, and completely within your control.
Here is why it works: when we hold our core tight all day, which many of us do without realizing it, we are forced to breathe into our chest rather than our belly. The pelvic floor follows the abdominals, meaning it stays contracted and tense too. Over time, that chronic tension can contribute to pain.
Deep diaphragmatic breathing gets the diaphragm and pelvic floor to lengthen and relax together with every inhale. Sprinkling in 10-20 deep belly breaths throughout your day is a simple and effective way to support pelvic floor health.
If you are living with pelvic pain and feel like you have run out of options, I promise you have not. Link in bio to schedule a free consult!
