If you’re living with endometriosis, you know it’s so much more than just “bad cramps.” It can affect your energy, your mood, your relationships — and honestly, your whole life. The pain can feel unpredictable, exhausting, and isolating. And if you’ve been told to just “deal with it,” we want you to know: you absolutely don’t have to.
One piece of the puzzle that often gets overlooked? Your pelvic floor.
A Quick Peek at the Anatomy 🧠✨
Your pelvic floor is a group of muscles at the base of your pelvis — think of it like a supportive hammock for your bladder, uterus, rectum, and more. When endometriosis causes chronic inflammation or pain, these muscles can tighten up in response (kind of like how your shoulders tense when you’re stressed). Over time, this tension can lead to pelvic pain, painful periods, bladder or bowel issues, and discomfort with intimacy — even if the endo lesions themselves aren’t directly on those muscles.
Pelvic floor therapy helps calm that tension, improve coordination, and get those muscles working with you again — not against you.
So, what does the pelvic floor have to do with endo?
When you’re in pain (especially for a long time), your body naturally starts to guard and protect itself. That can lead to your pelvic floor muscles becoming tight, tense, and overworked — kind of like they’re always bracing for impact. This can make symptoms like pelvic pain, painful periods, pain with intimacy, bloating, constipation, and even low back or hip discomfort feel way worse.
That’s where pelvic floor therapy comes in.
How pelvic floor therapy can help:
- Gently relax and retrain overactive pelvic floor muscles
- Improve blood flow and reduce inflammation
- Ease pain with sex, movement, and everyday activities
- Support your body through cycles, flares, or surgery recovery
- Give you tools to feel more in control of your symptoms
