Experience and Philosophy

Treatment for endometriosis requires a multidisciplinary approach. Pelvic floor physical therapy is known for being effective at addressing pelvic pain and bowel, bladder, and sexual symptoms associated with endometriosis. Pelvic floor physical therapy utilizes hands-on techniques that release tight muscles, reduce inflammation, and improve blood flow, as well as utilizing various targeted exercises that promote healing, along with information on how to manage your symptoms.

The benefits include:
*Experiencing reduced pain and discomfort
*Reduced tension from tight muscles
*Reduced inflammation
*Improved function and mobility
*Improved blood circulation, which promotes healing
