Stress- it affects more than you know!

Stress is a natural reaction that your body has when change or challenge in your life occurs. Your body is designed to react to stress in certain ways. Originally a survival mechanism, stress today looks very different than it did for our ancestors. Stress responses can be positive – like keeping you vigilant and alerting you to danger. However, stress can also be negative – particularly with chronic stress without periods of release.

Stress & Your Pelvic Floor

,

Stress can present itself in a lot of different ways. It may mean racing thoughts or never feeling quite settled -- like you just don’t have enough bandwidth for everything going on. Stress can also externalize itself in your body. This may mean having tight muscles that never relax no matter how much you stretch them or stress headaches or not sleeping well. This almost ALWAYS hits your pelvic floor!
