Either way, I want to give you hope that the situation can be improved. <\/span><\/p>\n You might be thinking that having a period sucks. <\/span><\/p>\n I hear you. <\/span><\/p>\n By far the main reason teenagers find me is because of period pain. I want to help as many women and girls as possible have pain-free periods. <\/span><\/p>\n Partly because I know it\u2019s possible to have regular, pain-free periods at every age. But also because of your long term fertility and health. <\/span><\/p>\n You may not want to get pregnant now but at some stage you probably will and what you do now can affect your fertility when that time comes. <\/span>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ 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 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 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 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 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>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][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_image src=”http:\/\/www.annette.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/periods-teenagers.png” title_text=”periods teenagers” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#a8cb5a” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ text_text_color=”#ffffff” ul_text_color=”#ffffff” ul_font_size=”20px” header_2_text_color=”#ffffff” custom_margin=”||42px|||” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\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. <\/span><\/p>\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. <\/span><\/p>\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. <\/span>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/www.annette.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/hands-on-stomach-scaled.jpg” title_text=”hands on stomach” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” use_background_color_gradient=”on” background_color_gradient_direction=”198deg” background_color_gradient_stops=”rgba(255,255,255,0.78) 0%|#ffffff 100%” background_color_gradient_overlays_image=”on” background_color_gradient_start=”rgba(255,255,255,0.78)” background_color_gradient_end=”#ffffff” background_image=”http:\/\/www.annette.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/pattern3.jpg” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_accordion icon_color=”#de4e63″ use_icon_font_size=”on” icon_font_size=”25px” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_accordion_item title=”How long does it take to see results?” open=”on” open_toggle_text_color=”#de4e63″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” toggle_level=”h3″ toggle_font_size=”20px” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]Usually, the younger you are the faster you will respond. For many, their very next period is already less painful and it keeps getting better each time. For some, it may take another couple of cycles to see a big improvement. <\/span><\/p>\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 see faster results. <\/span><\/p>\n In addition, I have some herbal formulas that are helpful plus some other lifestyle changes and remedies for you to use at home. <\/span>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”I\u2019m embarrassed to talk about my periods. ” open_toggle_text_color=”#de4e63″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” toggle_level=”h3″ toggle_font_size=”20px” theme_builder_area=”post_content” open=”off”]Firstly, I totally get it.

If you wear loose clothing you can lift up your shirt and push your pants or skirt down a bit to give me access to your belly. <\/span><\/p>\n I want you to feel relaxed and comfortable. The more comfortable you feel during the treatment, the more effective it will be.

Until uterine position is addressed and corrected, no pills and herbs will bring about relief of these symptoms.
