🩸Reasons for back pain during your period:

1️⃣Hormonal changes that effect ligaments around the pelvis/low back region.
1. Ligament laxity = too loose
2. Spinal/pelvis instability = pain in the low back or pelvic region

2️⃣Prostaglandins: When released they can contribute to menstrual pain.
1. Stimulate the uterus to contract
2. Cause cramps
3. Heavy contractions can refer to the abdomen/back/pelvis

3️⃣Underlying pelvic floor dysfunction
1. Hypertonicity (too tight)
2. Hypotonicity (too lax)
3. Pelvic Organ Prolapse

So what to do:
🧘‍♀️ Ideal workouts during your period include relaxing yoga poses or stretching, light cardio or walking, lighter strength training
💦 Stay hydrated with water & electrolytes.
👌If it keeps happening, getting a thorough assessment from a movement specialist (physical therapist) will help you with spinal/pelvic stability!

If you have pain during your period, drop a 🩸below! Let’s chat!
