Period Pain
Servicing St. Charles County
Cramps, aching, heaviness, sharp pain, pain with bowel movements, or discomfort that radiates into your back or thighs during your cycle, if it is disrupting your life, it is a sign your body is asking for support.
While it is common to be told that period pain is “normal,” that does not mean it is optimal. Painful cycles often reflect underlying imbalances in the body, many of which are musculoskeletal and closely connected to the pelvic floor.
How Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy Can Help
Your pelvic floor plays an essential role in how your body experiences your cycle. When these muscles are holding tension, lacking coordination, or not working in harmony with the rest of your body, they can heighten pain and sensitivity.
At our clinic, we take a full body, root cause approach to care. Your treatment may include:
Releasing tension in the pelvic floor and surrounding muscles
Restoring mobility through the hips, spine, and ribcage
Improving breathing patterns and supporting nervous system regulation
Enhancing movement patterns and deep core coordination
This is not a one size fits all plan. Your care is thoughtfully tailored to your body, your symptoms, and your goals.
