Pelvic pain is a real condition that many people suffer from in many ways, and it affects so many aspects of your life – work, home, intimate relationships, and more. Ignoring it doesn’t make it go away; in fact, it often gets worse over time. Let’s talk about why this happens and what you can do to feel better.What Happens When You Have Pelvic Pain and Keep Sitting?
The muscles that connect your pelvis together (the ones you sit on) play a crucial role in your body’s daily functions. These muscles help:
When you’re constantly sitting, especially for long periods without proper posture or movement, you’re adding a lot of stress to your pelvic muscles. Over time, this leads to excessively tight pelvic floor muscles. When these muscles tighten, they put pressure on surrounding nerves, which can significantly worsen your symptoms.
To compensate, you might start shifting in your seat, crossing your legs, or sitting in awkward positions to try and find relief. Unfortunately, these habits often worsen pelvic pain and add strain to your back, hips, and other areas of your body.How Does Stress Impact Your Pelvic Floor?
Stress isn’t just a mental burden; it’s a physical one too. When your body is under stress, muscles in your pelvic floor – much like those in your neck or shoulders – tend to tighten up. The issue is that most people don’t think about their pelvic floor or check in to notice how these muscles feel during the day.
The problem is chronic tension in the pelvic floor can:
When stress tightens your pelvic floor muscles, other muscle groups, like those in your glutes and lower back, often also tense up as a response. Before you know it, you’re dealing with pain that impacts multiple areas and limits your ability to move freely.
