Just recently I have been getting a lot of questions about a condition called endometriosis. Endometriosis is a condition where the body begins to grow endometrial tissue which is the lining of the uterus, in other areas than the uterus. This is a very painful condition and can lead to other issues like infertility or inability to stay pregnant. If you ask any doctor about the origins of this condition, you will either get many theories from hormone imbalances to genetics or they will just tell you that the cause is unknown. The common treatments for this are usually pain medication, synthetic hormone replacement, or surgery and it will usually end in a woman having her uterus and sometimes ovaries being removed.
Now that we have covered what it does, lets talk about what it is from the myofascial point of view. The pelvis is a very complicated area of the body that houses many organs and supporting structures. All of these organs and supporting structures are surrounded, infused, and held in place by our amazing and extensive fascial web. This fascial web is vital to the structure of this area and is also very important in communication between the different organs.
Imagine for just a moment grabbing the center of this web and twisting it in a circle. What happens to all the organs and supporting structures within the pelvic bowl? Everything will get twisted and contorted out of place. Restrictions of this kind can cause up to 2000 lbs of pressure per square inch on pain sensitive areas. This will also cause problems with communication and transportation as every nerve and blood vessel travel through this fascial network.
Endometriosis tends to be a communication issue where the body doesn't know where and when to lay down the lining of the uterus. This can be due to a restriction affecting the endocrine system (or hormones), the nervous system, or the fascial system itself which performs vital communication functions. Releasing these restrictions can return the body to its natural function without any forceful intervention such as drugs or surgery. That is not to say that these things may not still be necessary, and often, treatment with bio-identical hormones (and only bio-identical hormones) can be very helpful. However, myofascial release is a very good initial treatment as it cannot harm anyone and has the potential to relieve these conditions completely without any harmful intervention.
