Endometriosis in Carmel & Zionsville
Endometriosis Relief with Pelvic Floor Therapy in Carmel & Zionsville
Endometriosis is a painful and disruptive condition affecting over 6.5 million women in the United States alone. The tissue that normally lines the uterus grows in other areas of the body, causing inflammation, scar tissue formation, and debilitating pelvic pain. If you suffer from endometriosis symptoms like painful periods, chronic pelvic pain, pain during sex, urinary issues, or infertility, pelvic floor physical therapy with Restore Your Core Physical Therapy can help.
Our experienced women’s health physical therapists specialize in treating endometriosis and related pelvic pain using gentle, personalized manual therapy techniques and therapeutic exercise. We’ll create a customized treatment plan aimed at relieving your symptoms, restoring function, supporting hormone regulation, and helping you regain control over your health.
A Natural, Drug-Free Approach to Endometriosis Pain Management
Endometriosis treatment typically involves prescription hormones or surgery like laparoscopy or hysterectomy. While these options provide relief for some, they come with significant side effects and don’t address the underlying dysfunction causing pain. Restore Your Core Physical Therapy takes a different approach, using research-backed manual physical therapy to treat the source of your discomfort. Our skilled therapists are specially trained to evaluate and treat endometriosis using techniques like:
- Myofascial release to loosen tight pelvic floor muscles
- Neuromuscular re-education to reduce muscle guarding
- Scar tissue mobilization
- Trigger point release
- Core strengthening exercises
This natural, whole-body approach works with your body’s natural healing abilities to provide sustainable pain relief and improved quality of life. Pelvic floor therapy offers hope for gaining control over your endometriosis, whether other treatments have failed or you want to avoid invasive options.

This has been an incredible physical therapy experience! The team has helped me achieve my goals. They have listened and evaluated me with skill and great care. When I’m in a session they are focused on me and I feel valued, heard and comfortable. I highly recommend this team! I have been visiting the Carmel office. The office is always exceptionally clean and my kids are welcome to be in the sessions with me if I cannot arrange childcare. They work great even if there is a crying baby and that is a relief being a mom of 4
I started seeing Amy and Meredith a year and a half ago. I had seen other pelvic floor therapists with little to no results so I was super hesitant to try restore your core. But I have multiple friends who promised me I wouldn’t regret it. So I gave them a try and I am forever grateful I did. It’s honestly probably some of the best money I ever spent on myself. After four babies, you can imagine my core was shot. Not anymore! I still pop in from time to time. My most recent visit was due to pain in my hip (I think) from overdoing hip flexors. After only one visit my hip felt 💯! So yeah, highly highly highly recommend them 💜
Frequently Asked Questions about Pelvic Floor Therapy for Endometriosis
Does pelvic floor therapy hurt for endometriosis?
We take every measure to ensure your comfort and avoid pain during therapy sessions. Your skilled pelvic floor PT will use gentle manual techniques and work within your pain-free range of motion. They’ll check in frequently about your pain levels to guide treatment and customize pressure. Some mild soreness can occur temporarily afterwards as your body adjusts, like a workout. But we provide support to help you manage any discomfort. Many patients experience significant pain relief both during and after therapy.
What happens during a pelvic floor physical therapy session?
Your initial 60-90 minute evaluation involves discussing your history, symptoms, past treatments and goals. Your therapist will perform an external and internal pelvic floor examination to assess muscle tension, mobility restrictions, nerve involvement and core weakness contributing to pain.
Follow-up 45-60 minute treatments involve gentle hands-on manual therapy to inflamed areas, release tight muscles and connective tissue, improve circulation, and retrain optimal muscle firing. We’ll design an individualized exercise plan to continue progress between sessions.
What if I experience too much pain during a session?
