Endometriosis and Pilates-Getting in Shape to Relieve the Pain
If you suffer from endometriosis an alternative to conventional medical
treatments to help relieve the pain is getting in shape. Exercise is
beneficial for overall better health and pain management for those who
suffer from endometriosis.
Endometriosis is a disease in which endometrial tissue grows outside
the uterus and attaches to the outside of the reproductive organs and
in some cases other major abdominal organs. These endometrial cells
react to a woman's monthly menstrual cycle the same as the lining of
the uterus does.
Many women have found that strengthening their core muscles helps
alleviate the painful symptoms brought about by endometriosis. One of
the side benefits of exercising is the release of endorphins, also known
as "happy hormones", that bring about a general sense of well being.
One well known exercise regimen seems to work better than most
when it comes to relieving the symptoms of endometriosis. Pilates,
invented by Joseph Pilates, is made up of controlled exercises that
strengthen your core muscle groups. There are six universal benefits
to using Pilates which includes a strong body core, improved posture,
increased strength and mobility, long-lean muscle, a connection
between the mind and body and is safe for anyone who does it.
Exercising, whether you choose Pilates, or some other regimen, and
getting into shape is a good way to help alleviate the pain and
discomfort caused by endometriosis. It is important that you talk to
your doctor before you start an exercise program. They will be able to
help guide you as to what is best for your health.
