Period pain

A young female teenager presented with period pain which was quite painful resulting in disrupted sleep and use of medications to manage the pain. 

When assessing her movement there were some restrictions through her upper back, low back and pelvis but the biggest finding was the tension through the lower stomach connecting to the pelvis. 

With some hands on treatment the patient reported a reduction in severity of pain during her period.  She also noted that after her period had finished she did not feel sore or bloated which was a usual complaint for this patient.
