Backache, aching limbs, pain in the lower abdomen: dry land swimming BACKACHE, ACHING LIMBS, PAIN IN THE LOWER ABDOMEN: DRY LAND SWIMMING
Apart from severe headaches, the most painful symptoms of the aching miseries are a dull, continuous ache in the lower part of the back; thighs that feel congested and uncomfortable; or a continuous dragging sensation low down in the belly. If you suffer from any of these, here are two exercises which could help quite a lot to relieve the congestion which is causing the pain.
Dry land swimming-This simply involves doing the leg movements of the breast stroke, so if you are already a swimmer you will know what it's like. You need to use a piece of furniture like a bed, a divan, a sofa without arms or a pouffe: something you can lie on that will support your body from the waist up and leave your legs free for the exercise. A pouffe is probably the best because you can rest your hands on the floor when you are using it and that supports your weight very comfortably.
Lie face downwards in a comfortable position so that the top half of your body is well supported and your legs are free. The breast stroke leg movements are like a frog swimming. Start with your legs slightly apart. Then draw both legs up and bend them at the knees, so that by the end of the movement they lie almost at right angles to your spine and the soles of your feet are almost facing each other and might even be touching. With your next movement push your feet as far away from your body as you can get them and straighten your legs. By the time you have finished this movement, your head, spine and legs should make one long straight line. If you're really swimming, this is the part of the stroke when you push yourself forward through the water. As in all exercises, you get the best results if your movements are rhythmic and gentle. Smooth and easy is much better than quick and jerky.
If you are a regular swimmer you have an advantage over the rest of us, because this exercise is already part of your life. And when you have water to support you it's a relatively easy thing to do. But be warned, it's a strenuous exercise on dry land, so don't overdo it. Six strokes are usually enough to start with. You can build it up gradually day by day, using your own judgement and noticing its effect. It's a good idea to start this exercise before you feel uncomfortable; if you've kept a chart, you will be able to work out the best time. As a rough guide any day after the half-way mark between two periods.
Incidentally, a commonly asked question is whether it's all right to go swimming when you have a period. The answer is usually 'yes'. If you suffer from the aching miseries, swimming can be a great help. I wouldn't advise you to wear a sanitary towel or a tampon though. The cold water will reduce the flow of blood sufficiently while you're actually swimming, although it certainly won't stop it. There's no truth in the widespread belief that you can stop a period by taking a cold shower. If you suffer from the cramps, then swimming is the very last thing you'd want to do. And it's not a very good idea to swim on the day after the cramping pain has stopped, because the shock of the cold water has been known to start it all up again.
Lots of women are advised to wear a Tampax or a Lillet when they go swimming, because it's thought to be hygienic and you can't see it. The only trouble with tampons is the trailing cord outside the body, which can conduct water and germs straight up into the vagina. This is not a good idea at all. If you have worn a tampon while swimming you'll know how waterlogged it can get. My advice would be to remove it before you get into the water. Make sure you get dry and warm again as soon as you finish swimming, though, because there is some truth in the old wives' tale that you are more liable to catch cold at period time. You could well be at a low ebb then, so it makes good sense to take extra care.
