How can physiotherapy relieve the pain of endometriosis?
Pelvic pain can result in reactive muscle contraction. The management of overactivity of the pelvic floor and external pelvic muscles aims to help patients with persistent pelvic pain. Addressing the sensitivity of the nervous system explains the persistent pain experience and provides opportunity to reconceptualise pain for both the clinician and patient.
