As a pelvic health physical therapist who has been treating patients with endometriosis for 8+ years now, I approach treatment with the understanding that endometriosis is a whole-body condition, not just a localized pelvic issue. My philosophy is rooted in addressing the person as a whole—mind, body, and spirit—rather than focusing solely on the affected body parts. This holistic perspective acknowledges the interconnected nature of physical, emotional, and systemic health.
A Whole-Body Approach
Endometriosis impacts not only the pelvis but also musculoskeletal function, visceral health, the nervous system, and emotional well-being. My approach integrates evidence-based techniques with a compassionate understanding of how these systems interact. Treatments may include:
Although the biggest tool I have in my toolbox is my ears, “I Listen to the Patient,” Here are a few other techniques, among many others, I use
Manual Therapy: Gentle techniques to release fascial restrictions, improve mobility in the pelvic organs, and reduce adhesions.
Neuromuscular Re-Education: Enhancing motor control and addressing postural imbalances that contribute to pain or dysfunction.
Pain Science Education: Empowering patients to understand their pain and take an active role in their recovery through personalized strategies.
Breathwork and Relaxation Training: Utilizing diaphragmatic breathing to regulate the nervous system, improve core function, and enhance pelvic floor relaxation.
Exercise Prescription: Develop tailored movement programs to build strength, flexibility, and resilience while respecting the body’s limits.
Modalities: I pride myself on having the best evidence modalities out there, whether it’s a cold laser, shockwave, or imaging ultrasound for biofeedback, or EMG, among many others. But I still believe the second best tool I have is my hands 🙂 after my ears.
Collaborative Care
Endometriosis often requires a multidisciplinary approach, and I value collaboration with other healthcare providers, including gynecologists, pain management specialists, dietitians, mental health therapists, and acupuncturists. By working together, we can address all facets of the condition, from hormonal imbalances to emotional stressors and systemic inflammation.
Patient-Centered Care
Every patient’s journey with endometriosis is unique. My goal is to create a safe, empowering space where patients feel heard and supported. I strive to educate and collaborate with each individual, ensuring that their treatment plan aligns with their goals, lifestyle, and personal values.
Healing from endometriosis is a journey, and I am committed to walking alongside my patients, helping them reclaim their quality of life through integrative, compassionate, and evidence-informed care. Together, we aim to foster resilience, manage pain, and restore function for a healthier, more vibrant life.
