During perimenopause and menopause, hormone levels fluctuate unpredictably, which can cause inconsistent strength, core stability issues, and increased pain sensitivity—especially in the lower back, pelvis, and sciatic area.

Why This Happens in Perimenopause/Menopause

Estrogen Decline → Ligament & Muscle Laxity

Estrogen supports collagen production, which keeps muscles, ligaments, and fascia strong and resilient.

As estrogen fluctuates or drops, ligaments lose elasticity, making core engagement harder and increasing the risk of postural imbalances.

Progesterone Changes → Increased Sensitivity & Pain

Progesterone has a calming effect on the nervous system.

As it drops, pain sensitivity can increase, making sciatica, lower back pain, and breast tenderness feel worse.

Fluctuating Testosterone → Muscle Strength Inconsistency

Testosterone helps maintain muscle mass and power.

With perimenopause/menopause, levels can be inconsistent, leading to days where you feel strong and stable, then suddenly weak.

How This Affects Your Pilates & Training

Breast soreness + back pain = poor posture & reduced core control

Pelvic floor/core engagement may feel weaker on some days

Sciatica flare-ups limit movement and recovery

How to Work With These Fluctuations

1. Core Stability Without Over-Gripping

Focus on deep core engagement (TA & pelvic floor) without over-tightening—gripping too hard can make sciatica worse.

Use gentle engagement + breath coordination rather than high-tension contractions.

2. Adjust Training to Hormonal Fluctuations

Stronger Days: Challenge your core, do plank variations, heavier resistance work.

Weaker or Painful Days: Shift to gentle Pilates, mobility work, and breath-focused core activation.

Sciatica Days: Prioritize nerve flossing, gentle hip mobility, and avoiding prolonged static positions.

3. Reduce Sciatic & Lower Back Pain Triggers

Modify movements if breast soreness affects posture—avoid exercises that make you hunch forward.

Strengthen glutes + deep core to support lower back stability.

Incorporate nerve gliding exercises (like seated sciatic nerve flossing).
