Study Arms (2)

Classic massage group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Classical massage will be applied to the lumbal and abdominal region 5 days a week, from the estimated date of ovulation until the next menstrual bleeding begins.

The application will take approximately 15 minutes. During the massage, the physiotherapist will bring the tip of the middle finger of the hand into contact with the patient's skin and apply traction to the skin. During the treatment of the lumbar region, the patient will be in the sitting position, during the treatment of the abdominal and anterior pelvic region, the patient will be in the supine position.
