wHAT IS THE PELVIC FLOOR?
The pelvic floor is a group of muscles and tissues located at the base of the pelvis. These muscles support the bladder, uterus, and rectum, playing a crucial role in urinary and bowel function, sexual health, and core stability. When these muscles become weak, overactive, or imbalanced, it can lead to a range of issues, including:
- Urinary incontinence
- Pelvic pain
- Dyspareunia (pain during intercourse)
- Prolapse
- Constipation
- Postpartum diastasis recti
- Menopause and premenopause-related symptoms
- Endometriosis-related pelvic pain
- Post-surgical rehabilitation (laparoscopy)
ENDOMETRIOSIS & PELVIC PHYSIOTHERAPY IN KILKENNY
Living with Endometriosis? Physiotherapy Can Help.
Endometriosis is a chronic condition in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the womb, affecting the pelvis, bladder, bowel, and surrounding structures. It affects approximately 1 in 10 women and can cause debilitating pain, inflammation, and a significant reduction in quality of life — yet it is often underdiagnosed and undertreated.
At Elite Injury Clinic, we understand that endometriosis is far more than a gynaecological condition. The persistent inflammation, pelvic pain, and muscular tension it causes can have a profound effect on your pelvic floor, your posture, and your everyday movement. That's why we offer specialised pelvic physiotherapy as an effective, evidence-based approach to managing endometriosis symptoms.
How Physiotherapy Helps with Endometriosis
Pelvic physiotherapy does not treat the endometriosis lesions themselves, but it plays a vital role in managing the musculoskeletal consequences of the condition. Many women with endometriosis develop:
- Pelvic floor hypertonicity (overactive, tense muscles)
- Chronic pelvic pain and referred pain into the hips, back, and thighs
- Painful intercourse (dyspareunia)
- Bladder and bowel dysfunction
- Scar tissue and adhesion-related restrictions following surgery
- Postural compensations due to long-term pain
Our specialist physiotherapist, Irina Manole, works with you to identify and address these issues through a personalised, compassionate treatment plan.
Our Approach to Endometriosis Treatment at Elite Injury Clinic
We use a combination of advanced therapies specifically targeted at reducing inflammation, releasing muscular tension, and restoring normal pelvic function:
Tecartherapy (Tecar Therapy)
One of our most powerful tools for endometriosis management. Tecar Therapy uses capacitive and resistive energy to stimulate circulation, reduce chronic inflammation in the pelvic tissues, and promote natural healing — all without invasive procedures.
Manual Therapy & Internal/External Pelvic Techniques
Hands-on treatment to release trigger points, tight pelvic floor muscles, and fascial restrictions that contribute to ongoing pain.
EMTT (Electromagnetic Transduction Therapy)
A non-invasive electromagnetic therapy that supports tissue regeneration and helps reduce inflammation in the pelvic region.
Biofeedback Training
Helps you identify and down-regulate an overactive pelvic floor — a key skill for reducing pain during daily activities and intercourse.
Exercise Therapy & Breathwork
Targeted exercises and diaphragmatic breathing techniques to reduce intra-abdominal pressure, calm the nervous system, and improve pelvic floor coordination.
Post-surgical Rehabilitation
If you have undergone laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis, we provide scar tissue management and guided rehabilitation to restore full movement and function.
You Don't Have to Just Manage — You Can Improve
Many women are told to simply manage their endometriosis symptoms with medication or surgery. While medical treatment is essential, physiotherapy offers a powerful complementary approach that addresses the physical impact of the condition on your body. Our goal is to reduce your pain, improve your mobility, and help you regain control of your daily life.
If you are living with endometriosis and experiencing pelvic pain, painful periods, or any of the symptoms above, we invite you to book a consultation at Elite Injury Clinic in Kilkenny.
