Simple Uterus Exercise to Relief Period Pain

Last updated on May 29, 2018 By Jing J. 3 Comments

As women, we tend to internalize stress in the uterus, which often manifests as pain during menstruation. Try this simple yoga pose to relax the uterus and relieve period pain.

The uterus is a muscle about the size of a grapefruit.

Women tend to internalize stress in the uterus – when we enter the paramentstrum (premenstrual phase and menstruation), our hormone levels decrease to release the uterine lining, our immune system becomes more compromised, and therefore we become more fatigued.

When women do not honor this change in our bodies and keep moving forward at the same pace as when our hormones were rising post-menstruation, the body constricts to force itself to keep the pace – and that internalization of stress can cause period pain.

Here’s a wonderful uterus exercise to help prevent and relieve period pain.

Kneel on the floor – lean over and stretch your fore arms on the floor and place your forehead on the floor.

Gently arch your back and hold the position for a few minutes and repeat.

This simple exercise allows gravity to pull the uterus back into place.

The uterus is not attached to any other organ in the body, and often times can fall back against the colon. When the uterus contracts against the colon or the bladder, discomfort and period pain can result.

Try it out and see how you like this simple exercise.

    Jolynn, I’m sorry to hear that you went through so much pain. I used to have terrible cramps also (curling on the floor + cold sweats). It has gotten much better over the years through lifestyle changes such as proper nutrition, exercise and rest & relaxation etc. You may be interested in listening in to the recording of our webinar on Period Pain. Here’s where you can find it: https://cycleharmony.com/webinars1/blog?view=category

    Take care!
