No, we don’t mean start some influencer’s 6-week challenge.
Exercise reduces levels of the body’s stress hormones, such as adrenaline and cortisol, and is a great way to relieve tension. Even a short walk outdoors can clear the mind and relax your body and walking is great for your pelvic floor as we tend to spend so much time seated at work and school.
Try incorporating some of these exercises into your weekly routine and see if they help with stress and tension (remember jaw and floor!)
- Go for a 20-minute walk
- Practice some yin yoga
- Use a foam roller and massage out some tension in your muscles
- Practice your pelvic stretches and breathe into your belly
- Contract and relax your pelvic floor
