ENDOMETRIOSIS
Endometriosis is a complex and often debilitating condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus. This can lead to a range of symptoms and complications, impacting daily life and overall well-being.
Signs and Symptoms of Endometriosis:
-
Chronic pelvic pain
-
Painful menstrual periods (dysmenorrhea)
-
Pain during intercourse (dyspareunia)
-
Heavy menstrual bleeding
-
Fatigue
-
Infertility
-
Gastrointestinal issues such as bloating, diarrhea, or constipation
We understand the unique challenges faced by individuals with endometriosis. Our specialised approach to pelvic health physiotherapy encompasses evidence-based interventions aimed at addressing the symptoms and improving quality of life.
How Pelvic Health Physiotherapy Can Help:
-
Pain Management: We utilise a variety of techniques, including manual therapy, myofascial release, and gentle exercises, to alleviate pelvic pain associated with endometriosis.
-
Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation: Our tailored pelvic floor muscle training programs focus on restoring strength, flexibility, and coordination of the pelvic floor muscles, which can be affected by endometriosis-related pain and inflammation.
-
Education and Self-Management: We empower individuals with endometriosis with the knowledge and tools to manage their symptoms effectively, including lifestyle modifications, ergonomic strategies, and pain coping techniques.
-
Pre and Post-Surgical Rehabilitation: For individuals undergoing surgical intervention for endometriosis, we provide pre-operative preparation and post-operative rehabilitation to optimize outcomes and promote recovery.
By addressing the underlying musculoskeletal and pelvic floor dysfunction associated with endometriosis, our goal is to enhance overall well-being and improve quality of life for our patients. If you're living with endometriosis and seeking compassionate and effective care, we're here to support you on your journey to better pelvic health.
