Cycle-Aware Pelvic Physical Therapy: What to Expect Throughout Your Cycle
Pelvic pain, low back pain, and SI joint discomfort often fluctuate across the menstrual cycle. These changes are driven by normal hormone shifts that affect muscle tone, joint stability, and pain sensitivity — especially after conditions like endometriosis or chronic pelvic pain.
This free, downloadable reference sheet explains:
How each phase of the menstrual cycle can affect pelvic and back symptoms
Why symptom flares are common and not a sign of damage
How pelvic physical therapy adjusts exercise, manual therapy, and load based on your cycle
What is not causing your pain, helping reduce fear and uncertainty
This guide is intended to support patient education and reinforce cycle-aware pelvic physical therapy care.
