In most indigenous cultures the time of the woman's menstrual cycle is set aside for rest, reflection, and ceremony. Perhaps our culture needs to learn something from the more "primitive" ones.Menstrual cycle injury risk link: "Women are more likely to injure themselves at specific times in their menstrual cycle, research suggests.
London's Portland Hospital surveyed 1,000 osteopaths, and studied 17 women with a regular menstrual cycle. The study suggests the risk of injury is linked to fluctuating hormone levels which affect the muscles and ligaments. Both tissues appear to be vulnerable midway through the menstrual cycle, while the ligaments are at greater risk at the end."
