Endometriosis? ⬇️
What is true: endometriosis is a full system issue. It impacts different organs sometimes all the way up to your diaphragm. Hormones can trigger the tissue, which is why pain usually shows up around the time of the cycle for many women. It can be very intense.
Pelvic floor physical therapy cannot fix these lesions. What we can do is help the tissue return to its normal function. Often times muscles in the pelvic floor and the abdomen will reproduce clients cramping.
The gold standard for treatment of endometriosis is an excision surgery (the removal of the lesions). Note that this is different than an ablation surgery (not removing the lesions)
What we can do and why it’s worth it:
Sometimes women will go on medication’s to control their cycle like birth control; IUD or other. Pain that continues with medication or continues between your cycle is a huge flag that your pelvic floor and muscle guarding can be a big component of your pain.
What this means for you is learning how to release and relax these muscles can be the difference between having severe symptoms or having tolerable symptoms.
We work with our clients to teach them how to release these muscles at home and the value of that is feeling like you have some control over your pain symptoms.
If this feels like you, we’d love to help you grab a call in our bio and let’s make sure it’s a good fit ❤️
