March is endometriosis awareness month!

Did you know that approximately 1 in 10 women have endometriosis, but unfortunately for many women it takes an average of 7 years to get a diagnosis? Endometriosis is a condition that can cause pain and disruption in daily life, but pelvic floor physical therapy can play a crucial role in managing symptoms like pelvic/abdominal pain, pain during in*******se, and bladder or bowel issues that often accompany endometriosis.

Pelvic floor physical therapy is not only helpful for reducing endometriosis related pain, but can also address any type of pelvic pain in women AND men. This can include, but is not limited to, tailbone pain, pain with bowel movements or while urinating, IBS related pain, pelvic pain during pregnancy, SI joint pain, deep groin/hip pain, and pain in the v***a, p***s, testicles, or sc***um. Physical therapy can help by:

Improving muscle flexibility to reduce pain

Implementing manual therapy techniques to reduce tension

Educating on strategies for self-management of your pain

And more depending on your specific symptoms!

Call today, 847-223-8001, to begin treatment and start reducing your pain and improving your quality of life!
