Philosophy of Endometriosis Care:
I believe in treating the patient as a whole person and working with my patients to develop care plans that address as many affected systems as possible. I use a combination of therapeutic movements, neuromuscular re-education, manual therapies (including cupping, myofascial release, dry needling, and visceral mobilization), and self-care strategies to minimize pain and optimize function. I strive to provide accurate information in a supportive environment, aiding my patients in decision-making so they receive the most effective treatments.
I saw Dr. Djernes for several years for care when struggling with severe endometriosis pain, recovery after my excision surgery, and also during and after pregnancy. She was fantastic each step of the way. She was very knowledgeable about endometriosis and listened to my experiences. She came up with an individualized care plan to help me and adapted it as needed. This was one of the only things that helped with my endometriosis pain before my last surgery. I still had pain but it took the edge off and made it easier for me to function. I haven’t needed a physical therapist for a while, but if I ever do again I will reach out to Dr. Djernes right away.
