Periods do not need to be painful!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Your period should be painless, without cramping, headaches, backache or extreme fatigue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Even if you have been experiencing painful periods for many years it\u2019s important you know that the situation can be improved and in many cases painful periods can be eliminated entirely.<\/span><\/p>\n

What causes painful periods? <\/b><\/h2>\n

<\/h2>\n

The position of your uterus:<\/b><\/p>\n

To quote my teacher Rosita Arvigo, \u201cToo many women and girls experience painful menstruation caused by a malpositioned uterus. Until uterine position is addressed and corrected, no pills and herbs will bring about relief of these symptoms. The basic underlying cause must be treated.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

Ineffective contractions<\/b><\/p>\n

When your uterus is not in the ideal position it may not be receiving enough blood and oxygen flow, the contractions your uterus makes during your period to release the blood are less effective which makes your uterus try harder by contracting even more, usually causing pain. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

When the contractions are ineffective, it can take longer for your uterus to empty and for your period to end. You might also have staining before and after your period. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re seeing a lot of very dark red, brown and black blood it\u2019s most likely old blood from a previous cycle that wasn\u2019t released. This old blood can show up as staining before or after your actual period. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

Old blood left over from previous cycles<\/b><\/p>\n

If your uterus doesn\u2019t succeed in successfully letting go of the previous cycle’s uterine lining (endometrium) the pain can worsen with time as your uterus tries and fails to release the accumulated blood. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

Difficulty releasing waste products<\/b><\/p>\n

Your uterus, like any organ in the body, also produces waste products that need to be removed via your lymphatic system. If your uterus is not sitting well in your pelvis it can often block the easy removal of these waste products leading to congestion in your pelvis and ultimately pain during your period or at other times of the month. <\/span>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ background_color=”#97b75d” custom_padding=”0px||0px||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_css_main_element=”margin:auto;” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ ul_font_size=”20px” custom_margin=”||42px|||” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n

How does womb massage help reduce period pain?<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

I use a combination of Sobada, abdominal massage (sometimes referred to as uterine massage or womb massage) and reflexology to help you enjoy pain-free periods.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

Sobada abdominal massage is a pleasant and relaxing massage on the abdomen and back that focuses on improving blood flow to your uterus and ovaries and encouraging your uterus into the best possible position in your pelvis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

The treatment is very relaxing and improves both your breathing and digestion in addition to your monthly cycle. In turn, this improves your chances of enjoying a pain-free cycle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

In our first treatment together, I teach you a short (5-10 minute) self-care massage you can use at home to complement my treatment. If you are consistent about performing this self care massage at home, you will also most likely see faster results.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How long does it take to see results?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Some women experience an improvement after the very first treatment and for others the process takes longer. Most of my clients have experienced an improvement within a the first two months, especially if they perform the self-care massage I teach my clients which complements treatment with me.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

In addition, I have some herbal formulas that are helpful plus some other lifestyle changes and powerful remedies for you to use at home. <\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m also an Advanced EFT Tapping practitioner and I work with women in particular issues around anxiety, depression, stress levels.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I teach Fertility Awareness to help women better know their bodies and improve their chances of conceiving or prevent pregnancy naturally.<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I came for treatment at Annette Green\u2019s for help after several miscarriages and I had no idea it was possible for such a change and such amazing improvement in my menstrual cycle. The bleeding changes from so painful that I had to take painkillers each much to an easy period which felt so much lighter and healthier, the bleeding was much lighter than before and I rariely have to take paint killers or rest too much when I get my period. <\/span>
<\/span>
<\/span>I recommend womb massage to everyone! It improves your period, feels great, it\u2019s relaxing and pleasant. <\/span>

I have been seeing Annette for the last several years for headaches, stress management and sinusitis. Recently our focus has been my menstrual cycle after suffering from severe PMS, menstrual pain and heavy\/long menstruations. After only a few visits, Annette\u2019s reflexology treatments have reduced the pain, intensity, and duration of my periods. Annette has always displayed impressive knowledge, empathy and kindness. I feel at ease and welcome in her presence and always look forward to my next treatment. Thank you!<\/span><\/p>\n
