The Silent Impact of Chronic Stress on Your Pelvic Floor

Most women know what it’s like to carry stress in their shoulders or stomach, but far fewer realise that chronic stress can also create tension in the pelvic floor muscles. Stress can go deeper than you think. These supportive muscles play a major role in bladder control, sexual health, core stability and overall comfort. Yet emotional stress, daily overwhelm and even past experiences can all quietly affect how these muscles function.


In this article we explore how chronic stress impacts the pelvic floor, why emotional tension often settles in the pelvis and what you can do to restore balance and ease.
