Endometriosis Physical Therapy in Portland
Holistic Treatment for Endo Pain, Adhesions, and Pelvic Floor Dysfunction
Endometriosis is where generations of feminine wounding often shows itself in our bodies. This is where I shine.
If you have endometriosis or adenomyosis and conventional medicine has offered you little more than birth control, ablation surgery, and pain management—know that there is more available to you.
And if you have endometriosis or adhesive scars, please come. My hands speak that language so well.
At Portland Pelvic Therapy, we specialize in helping women with endometriosis reclaim comfort, function, and connection to their bodies through manual therapy, visceral manipulation, and deep trauma release work—the kind of care that sees you as whole, not broken.

Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus—on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, bowel, bladder, and other pelvic structures. This tissue responds to your menstrual cycle, causing inflammation, adhesions, and often debilitating pain.
Common symptoms include:
Severe menstrual cramps
Chronic pelvic pain (not just during your period)
Pain with sex (dyspareunia)
Bowel pain or painful bowel movements
Bladder pain, urgency, or frequency
Digestive issues (bloating, constipation, IBS-like symptoms)
Fatigue and whole-body inflammation
Difficulty getting pregnant
-
Surgery can remove visible endometriosis lesions, but it often leaves behind scar tissue (adhesions) that creates its own problems. Birth control can suppress symptoms but doesn't address the adhesions, pelvic floor dysfunction, or nervous system sensitization that develop over years of living with endo.
That's where pelvic floor physical therapy comes in—specifically, the kind that goes beyond exercises to address the deeper fascial and organ restrictions.
-
My approach combines conventional pelvic floor therapy with visceral (organ) manipulation and fascial release—techniques specifically designed to address the adhesions and restrictions that endometriosis creates.
Visceral Manipulation: Gentle hands-on work to release restrictions in your uterus, ovaries, bowel, bladder, and surrounding fascia. This is especially powerful for endo-related adhesions and organ motility issues.
Pelvic Floor Manual Therapy: Many women with endo develop tight, painful pelvic floor muscles as a protective response to chronic pain. We'll release that tension.
Scar Tissue Release: If you've had laparoscopic or abdominal surgeries, we'll work to release adhesions that might be pulling on organs and nerves.
Nervous System Regulation: After years of chronic pain, your nervous system becomes sensitized. We'll teach it to calm down.
Trauma Release: For many women, endo is layered with medical trauma, body disconnection, and grief. We hold space for all of it.

Endometriosis is complex. You deserve slow, careful, sacred healing—not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
Treatment typically involves 6-12 sessions initially, though some women choose ongoing support. We'll create a plan that honors your body's needs and your life circumstances.
