Philosophy of Endometriosis Care: 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.

Philosophy of Endometriosis Care: I have been a PT for 18 years and have specialized in women’s pelvic health for the past 14 years. I have a holistic approach with all my patients. When treating endo patients (or any pain condition typical to women at any stage of life), I am always sensitive to the multi-dimensional aspects of their pain. Women have often been invalidated (often multiple times) when trying to seek care and/or diagnosis for their pain, and validation that their pain is real, no matter what the diagnosis, is always one of my priorities.
More specifically, I spend a lot of time talking with my patients to help me understand their journey and identify their needs, beliefs, goals, etc.

I evaluate and treat using breathwork, mindfulness approaches, gentle and progressive exercises, visceral and myofascial release techniques, and yoga therapy. I have also done a lot of courses on pain system sensitization and centralization. A lot of education is always offered to my patients; resources are shared, and explanations of the pain system, the condition, and the role of the multiple dimensions of pain (bio, psycho, social, cultural, etc)

I have also written a book (an essay)—published in 2023—called “Habiter nos corps / Pour en finir avec la banalisation de la douleur des femmes.” In this book, I research, explore, and share about the multiple dimensions of pain, the history of women’s health, sociology, language, and other cultural aspects contributing to pain (by invalidating it, for example).

Philosophy of Endometriosis Care: Endometriosis is a complex diagnosis that often goes untreated/undiagnosed for years. My initial approach to working with a patient with endometriosis is to listen. I find many patients have a history of being gaslit by medical professionals, and I seek to provide a safe, trauma-informed space where symptoms are validated and patients feel comfortable talking. I specialize in treating bladder, bowel, and sexual symptoms. Typical treatment varies depending on symptoms but may include breath work, visceral mobilization, abdominopelvic myofascial mobilization, stretches and strengthening exercises, dry needling, etc. Exercise is an important part of decreasing inflammation in the body; therefore, exercise, strength, and education are critical parts of therapy intervention.
