Dysmenorrhea (Menstrual Pain)
Primary dysmenorrhea, commonly referred to as menstrual pain or period cramps, is defined as the pain occurring in the lower abdomen before or during the menstrual cycle.
Menstrual pain is by far the most common gynaecological ailment. It is also the main cause of recurrent absenteeism from school or work in adolescent girls and young women. Despite resulting in activity limitations, most women suffer silently and fail to report their symptoms to a healthcare provider.
At our clinic, we teach women how their bodies work, how to find their core and inner strength, what is normal and what are the things women should not have to accept as normal.
We can resolve menstrual pain using a combination of manual therapy techniques, breathing and exercise.
It Is Not Normal for Your Menstrual Cycle to Be Painful
Many women have grown to accept menstrual pain as an unavoidable part of their monthly cycle. But severe cramps, persistent backaches and abdominal pain should not be considered normal or something you must simply endure.
- Do you find yourself regularly relying on painkillers just to get through the first few days of your period?
- Are back pain and abdominal cramps significantly limiting your daily activities and enjoyment of life?
- Is curling up with a hot pack, missing work, school or social engagements becoming a regular monthly occurrence?
- Have you ever cancelled plans or avoided leaving your home due to the intense pain of menstrual cramps?
You’re not alone, and you shouldn’t have to suffer in silence.
At Azita Papaie Physiotherapy Clinic, we firmly believe menstrual pain is something you can overcome, not something to accept passively. Our personalized physiotherapy treatments specifically address the root causes of menstrual pain, offering long-term relief through tailored manual therapy, gentle pelvic mobilization, breathing exercises, targeted stretches and core-strengthening routines.
We will provide you with education, support and strategies to manage your symptoms naturally and effectively, helping you regain control over your body and your life.
Don’t suffer alone. We are here to help.
Pain Management for Dysmenorrhea (Menstrual Pain)
Managing menstrual pain often requires more than just temporary relief from medication. At Azita Papaie’s clinic, physiotherapy provides a holistic approach aimed at identifying and addressing the underlying causes of menstrual discomfort, rather than simply masking the symptoms.
By employing specialized techniques like manual therapy, gentle pelvic mobilizations, myofascial release, targeted stretches and breathing exercises, physiotherapy treatments effectively alleviate menstrual pain and related muscular tension. Additionally, customized exercise plans enhance core strength and pelvic stability, significantly reducing recurring menstrual cramps.
Education plays a vital role in pain management. Our patients learn practical strategies for managing menstrual discomfort at home, including posture correction, mindful breathing and specific movement routines designed to ease cramps naturally. Physiotherapy empowers women by giving them the tools to reclaim their daily lives from menstrual pain, improving both physical comfort and emotional well-being.
You don’t have to accept pain as part of your monthly cycle. Physiotherapy offers a sustainable, effective solution to menstrual pain relief.
