Primary dysmenorrhea is the result of hypercontractility and uterine vascular ischemia is the most common gynecologic complaints in young women. According to the intensity of symptoms may impair daily living, work and leisure activities. Pilates brings the concept of moving the body for the recovery, maintenance and promotion of health through exercises that stimulate circulation, improving physical conditioning, flexibility and proper postural alignment, and promote improvement in the levels of body awareness, coordination and muscle control. In this sense, the objective is to investigate the effects of pilates in the symptomatology of primary dysmenorrhea.
