Myofascial Release Therapy (MRT) involves hands-on palpation to detect fascial restrictions, followed by 60-90 seconds of sustained pressure to release tension. In the supine position, the target areas include the superficial fascia, transversalis fascia, and extraperitoneal fascia, while in the prone position, the focus shifts to the thoracolumbar fascia and the erector spinae complex. This technique aims to restore mobility and reduce restrictions within the fascial system. Frequency: Each patient will recieve a single session at their most painful day from this intervention.

Kinesio Taping (KT) Intervention Description: Participants will receive a standardized 3-tape sensory modulation technique using Kinesiotape, applied to the abdomen and sacrum to target fascial tension and visceral pain in primary dysmenorrhea. Procedure: Abdominal Application (Two Tapes, 0% Stretch): Horizontal Tape: Placed between the iliac crests (lower abdomen) to reduce fascial tension. Vertical Tape: Applied from the navel to the pubic symphysis to modulate visceral pain signaling. Sacral Application (One Tape, 15-25% Stretch): Horizontal Tape: Anchored across the S2-S4 vertebrae (at PSIS level) to activate the pain-gating mechanism via cutaneous-visceral reflexes. Frequency/Duration: Each participant will receive a single session at their most painful day from this intervention
