Living with endometriosis can be a daily challenge, and while much attention is given to managing pain and hormonal symptoms, one important aspect that's often overlooked is pelvic floor health and non-invasive treatment options.
What is the Pelvic Floor?
The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that support your bladder, uterus, and bowels—helping with everything from urinary function and intimate health to maintaining core stability. For those with endometriosis, chronic pain and inflammation can cause these muscles to become tense or weakened over time, leading to issues like pelvic pain, difficulty with bowel movements, urinary urgency, and pain during sex.
Taking care of your pelvic floor is an important step in managing endometriosis and improving your overall well-being.
Core to Floor Therapy for Compensatory Muscle Tightness
Many people with endometriosis experience a condition known as a hypertonic pelvic floor, where the pelvic floor muscles are constantly tight or overactive due to an inactive core.
Instead of relaxing and contracting as they should, certain muscles stay in a contracted or clenched state, which can worsen pain. This can also cause bowel or bladder dysfunction and contribute to discomfort during intimacy.
At The Spinal Movement, the Core to Floor program offers a supportive and non-invasive treatment option to support in managing this condition. Using a combination of Emsella—which helps strengthen, relax and restore nerve innovation to the pelvic floor through high intensity focused electromagnetic technology—and Emsculpt—which builds abdominal core strength, pelvic and lower back stability and pelvic floor relaxation—this program aims to retrain and rebalance pelvic floor muscles collectively.
These clinically proven therapies work in tandem to assist in reducing tension, improving muscle function, and supporting overall pelvic health for people living with endometriosis, as a part of an overall management plan.
