Treatment strategies that I utilize are many. I believe that there is no one way to treat everybody. I will utilize manual techniques and modalities.

We will work together and collaborate with other professionals as needed to achieve goals.

Philosophy of care and typical treatment strategies: First and foremost, my goal is to educate patients on how their body functions and how they can self-treat their pelvic floor dysfunction. I will always be available to them, but since endo is a chronic condition, they may need to step away from therapy for periods of time, and I want them to have the tools they need to do it confidently. I incorporate internal and external manual therapy to address muscle tension (visceral mobilization, scar tissue massage, and myofascial release); gentle therapeutic activities such as diaphragmatic breathing, perineal bulging, and yoga-type stretches; dietary changes; tool-assisted pelvic floor muscle stretching (dilators, wand); constipation management; and relaxation exercises that help the patient reconnect with their pelvic floor and build awareness and pelvic floor muscle coordination. Every person is different and will have different needs, so I get the patient’s history and behavior of symptoms, and address what we find in our visits. I may also address fluid intake, toileting, incontinence, and pelvic organ prolapse as needed. I often assist in coordinating care by recommending doctors whom I trust in Phoenix and helping patients learn to self-advocate. I strive to create an environment that is safe and affirming for my patients; I am trauma-informed.

Philosophy of care and typical treatment strategies: I take a comprehensive and individualized approach to treating patients with endometriosis. I primarily focus on manual therapy using myofascial release and connective tissue mobilization to reduce pain, but also use physical activity to improve a patient’s pain-free function, including addressing any range of motion or strength deficits that are negatively affecting their ability to function. Depending on the patient’s specific needs and goals, we may also be working to manage constipation, reduce pelvic floor muscle tension, or improve their ability to coordinate the muscles around their pelvis in order to improve their ability to participate in appropriate physical activities and reduce symptoms (such as tai chi or yoga). A comprehensive evaluation will help us determine each patient’s specific goals, which we will discuss and update regularly. Treatment includes an ongoing conversation where we review how each previous session went and use that information to plan our new goals and treatment ideas moving forward.
I am mindful of concurring conditions often seen in patients with endometriosis, such as Ehlers Danlos syndrome, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, etc. and while I do not treat these specifically as a physical therapist, I understand the impact that these conditions can make as part of the big picture when treating a patient comprehensively and encourage them to seek care with specialists when appropriate. I collaborate with local specialists, including gynecologists, gynecological surgeons, GI, urologists, nutritionists, naturopaths, etc. and believe that we all work together to provide the best care for our patients, addressing all of their needs.
