The Role of Pelvic Floor Therapy in Endometriosis
Endometriosis is a whole-body inflammatory condition that needs medical management, and pelvic floor therapy is a complementary piece that targets one of its most disabling features: pain. Years of pelvic pain frequently drive the pelvic floor into a tight, protective, over-guarded state, which then creates its own pain, bowel/bladder symptoms, and painful sex. Visceral (organ) manipulation, nerve mobilization, and other pain modalities are helpful in reducing scar tissue and managing pain.
How Pelvic Floor Therapy Helps
We address the secondary muscular pain that endometriosis stacks on top of the underlying condition, releasing guarded pelvic floor and abdominal muscles, gently mobilizing restricted fascia and scar tissue, and down-training a nervous system that’s been on high alert. We also give you practical tools for flares, help calm bowel and bladder symptoms, and rebuild movement and strength at a pace your body can tolerate, so more of your life feels possible between and during cycles.
When to Begin
At any point in your journey, whether you’re newly diagnosed, have been experiencing symptoms for a long time, or if you are pre-op or post-op for excision surgery. Because we’re addressing the muscular and nervous-system layer, this work can help even when the underlying disease is being managed elsewhere.
