Endometriosis Physiotherapy

Yes. Endometriosis is a long-term condition where tissue similar to the womb lining grows in other places such as the ovaries and fallopian tubes. While physiotherapy cannot cure endometriosis, specialist pelvic health physiotherapy can significantly help manage pain, reduce muscle tension and improve quality of life.

Your initial consultation includes a full history covering your journey to date, symptoms, surgeries, challenges, concerns and changes in mood or energy. We also observe functional movement (squat, lift, push, pull), assess breath and diaphragm release, and examine the pelvic floor, abdomen, muscles, bladder, bowel and sexual health.

Following assessment, we create a bespoke treatment pathway usually involving 8 to 12 sessions. Treatment may combine manual therapy (internal and external), LPG Endermologie, breathwork, acupuncture, and a home exercise programme. We take an integrated, holistic approach drawing on clinical experience and current research.

Most treatment pathways involve 8 to 12 sessions, though this varies depending on the severity of your symptoms, how long you have had endometriosis, and your individual goals. Your practitioner will discuss expected timescales at your initial consultation.

Endometriosis can affect women of any age, including teenagers. It is a long-term condition that can have a significant impact on daily life, but there are many treatments — including physiotherapy — that can help manage symptoms and improve well-being at any age.

Yes. Painful intercourse is a common symptom of endometriosis, often related to pelvic floor muscle tension and trigger points. Our pelvic health physiotherapists can use manual therapy, trigger point release, breathwork and exercises to help reduce muscle tension and address this symptom as part of your treatment plan.
