Brief Summary   A Menstrual disorder which is defined as the presence of painful cramps of uterine origin occurs during menstruation is called as Dysmenorrhea. Various studies has also shown that pelvic floor muscles training considerably improves the quality of life of the women, which consecutively improves their physical, mental and social functioning.Deep breathing exercise that has relaxing effect can also increase formation of endorphins in the control system. Thus by muscle relaxation deep breathing exercises can make the patient more comfortable. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of Kinesio taping, pelvic floor strengthening exercises and breathing exercises, that are being clinically applied for menstrual pain and premenstrual syndrome, to investigate the efficacy taping and PFM exercises as methods for alleviating menstrual pain and premenstrual syndrome.
