Is your Womb mis-aligned?
Often symptoms of menstrual dysfunction and discomfort could be caused by
misalignment of the uterus which lead to inefficient circulation and consequential regular symptoms of inflammation, pain and discomfort.
There are many potential every day causes of this such as:
- High impact exercises with weights
- Running on hard surfaces
- Wearing high heeled shoes
- Car accidents or hard blows, injuries or falls to the sacrum and tailbone
- Poor alignment of the pelvic bones with the spinal column
- Modern life and carrying children on one hip for prolonged periods
- Straining during bowel movements
- Ageing and the pull of gravity on the ligaments
- Repeated pregnancies close together with difficult deliveries
- Challenges during pregnancy, delivery and postpartum
- Carrying heavy items just before, during or after menstruation and too soon after childbirth
- Emotional tension following either physical, sexual, or emotional abuse from any time in your life.
