Lower abdominal pain – correction (Pelvic Care course)
Perform standing for severe pain. Can be performed supine.
Sacral Apex Point – place EF tip at the apex of the sacrum (sacrococcygeal junction) and direct light pressure towards the pubic bone.
Pubis Point – place the EF 1 finger width down from the top of the pubic bone in the midline and light pressure is directed straight in.
Apply equal pressure to both points simultaneously for up to 20 seconds. Repeat up to 3 times if necessary.

Heavy Menstruation – correction (Pelvic Care course)
Possible indications:
- Menstruation problems (heavy periods or periods long in duration)
- Irregular cycle
- Dragging feeling in uterus; sensation of “falling out”
- Ovary pain
Always check Spinal Balance before commencement. If Spinal Balance is needed proceed with Gracilis and Adductor Magnus (Emmett finger in direction towards shoulder/greater trochanter) and no more.
When Spinal Balance is not necessary, use the following suggested treatment:
- Iliacus / Oblique (check Pelvic Floor)
- Abdominals (for easy access to pelvic area)
- 12th Rib / Navel
- 12th Rib / Gracilis
- Sacral Notch / Ovary point (ovary point is 4 fingers down and 2 across from navel – for ovary pain)
- Adductor Magnus / Mid Sacrum
- Recovery
Repeat in 7 days and just prior to “due date” of next period for next 3 months to reset cycle for best results.
