Philosophy of care and typical treatment strategies: I have extensive training from Ginger Garner and Jessica Drummond, as well as being CAPP certified and a CAPP case study reviewer for 5 years. My treatment for endometriosis-related pain includes downtraining the nervous system and the abdominal and pelvic floor muscles, relaxation techniques, general anti-inflammatory diet advice, and internal and external soft tissue mobilization. I would include yoga-based therapies, referrals for counseling when needed, stretching when something is tight, and strengthening when pain is lower, if indicated. I have barreled pelvic visceral mobilization training but do not use it other than for the knowledge of the location of the organs.
