Movement, Fascia & Pain Patterns
Endometriosis and adenomyosis often come with chronic pain- hip, thigh, lower back, and pelvic tightness.
Movement helps support hormone balance, circulation, inflammation, stress levels and can reduce pain.
Gentle stretching and movement also help ease muscle tightness and gradually lower pain sensitivity.
This is partly thanks to fascia, the connective tissue around muscles and organs.
With endo (and often adenoymosis), fascia can become tight or irritated from inflammation, surgery, or chronic guarding, contributing to pelvic, hip, thigh, and lower back pain.
For endometriosis and adenoymosis:
-
Gentle, consistent movement is best- think restorative yoga, pilates, walking, or swimming
-
Targeted stretches, foam rolling, and mobility workouts can ease pelvic, thigh and leg tension
-
Avoid over-exercising- too much high-intensity exercise can increase stress hormones
Movement is medicine for your body- it keeps things flowing and reduces the tightness and discomfort these conditions can cause.
