What is endometriosis?
A condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus. The visible disease can be treated by surgery. The muscle and pain patterns that build around it are where pelvic floor PT does its work.
In plain language.
Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus. The lesions respond to hormonal cycles, bleeding and inflaming, which over time creates scar patterns, muscle guarding, and pain that often outlasts the visible disease.
Pelvic floor PT does not treat the lesions themselves. It treats the muscle tension, scar restriction, and pain amplification that often accompany the condition and frequently persist after surgery.
How it shows up.
Patients with endometriosis often experience:
- Cyclic or constant pelvic pain
- Period pain severe enough to disrupt daily life
- Pain with sex, with bowel movements, or with bladder filling
- Sciatica-pattern leg pain that worsens with the cycle
- Persistent pain after laparoscopic excision
- Fatigue, bloating, and digestive symptoms
What makes our treatment different.
We work alongside your gynecologist or excision surgeon, both before laparoscopy and after. Many patients see the most change in the months following excision, when the muscles can finally let go.
We treat the muscle pattern, not just the lesions. The pelvic floor often becomes guarded in response to long-running pelvic pain, and that guarding can outlast the surgery if no one addresses it.
Pace, not push. Aggressive treatment flares endo patients. We dose carefully and watch what changes, visit by visit.
