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 gas-lit 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.
