6 Gentle Ways to Support Pelvic Pain Relief This February

As we are moving into February, and the month of love - let's invite in some more ways we can show love for Ourselves.

You are the most important person in your life, if you look after yourself first, it's gonna be easier for you to show up for people in your life. You are important.

The theme of February's Pelvic Relief Bingo Card is Self-Love, Self-Compassion & Softness. You can download it completely free.

Let this bingo card guide you through February, offering gentle, supportive ways to care for your body and yourself - and in doing so, support pelvic pain relief over time. This is a magical way to zoom out from your pelvis itself, while still deeply supporting it in the long run.

In this post, I share a few of the squares from the bingo card and go a bit deeper for you to better understand why these practices matter.

Gentle Practices for Pelvic Pain Relief

Seated Cat/Cow + Self-Hug

Come into a seated position on both sitz bones, this could be kneeling, sitting cross-legged or sitting in a chair. When you’re grounded through both sitz bones, you’re in a neutral pelvic position.

As you inhale, you are gonna open the arms wide and gently shifting the weight forward towards the front of the pelvis.

As you exhale, shift your weight back towards the tailbone and give yourself a hug.

Flow with your breath, alternating the arm on top each time.

Repeat about 10 rounds.

- Notice: What sensations are you feeling in your pelvis, spine, or chest? Are you noticing anything else within you!

Say Something Kind to Your Body (out loud or in writing)

Better yet - say it to yourself in front of the mirror, naked optional.. but highly encouraged.

Look yourself in the eye while saying something kind to your body. So often we criticize on our body, and yet, here it is, just doing the best it can... Show it some love this month.

Legs Up the Wall for One Song

Put in your headphones and play a song that makes you feel serene, calm, or deeply connected. Rest your legs up the wall and stay there for the length of the song. I have a Pelvic Healing Playlist on Spotify - perhaps you can find a new favourite to pair with this practice.

Child’s Pose with Support

Come into a comfy Child's pose on your mat or even on your bed. Place a pillow under your bum or torso, hugging it in towards you. Drape a blanket over your body to make it into your own little cozy cocoon. This posture can feel deeply grounding and soothing for the nervous system, especially when the pelvis needs softness and reassurance.

Seated figure-4 stretch

This is a great one if you spend a lot of time at a desk.

Cross one ankle over the opposite knee and sit tall. You can explore small movements - leaning slightly forward or back - and notice how the stretch changes.

Breathwork: Inhale for 4, exhale for 6

Intentionally making the exhales a bit longer than the inhales to stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, the rest & digest response. Inhale for 4, exhale for 6. Can you guide the inhales all the way into the pelvis? How does that feel?
