Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a chronic condition where tissue similar to the lining inside the uterus grows outside of it, often causing pain, inflammation, and sometimes infertility. Erin Hardiman, PT, DPT, offers specialized physical therapy to manage the symptoms associated with endometriosis. Her approach focuses on reducing pain and improving pelvic floor muscle function through manual therapy, soft tissue mobilization, and gentle stretching techniques. By addressing adhesions and fascial restrictions, she aims to alleviate discomfort and restore mobility.
Physical therapy for endometriosis also includes guided exercises to strengthen the core and pelvic muscles. Erin incorporates these exercises to promote proper muscle function, improve posture, and support the body’s natural movement patterns. Understanding that every patient’s experience with endometriosis is unique, Erin provides individualized care plans tailored to each person’s symptoms, activity levels, and overall health goals.
In addition to hands-on treatment, education is a key component of Erin’s approach. She empowers patients with knowledge about their condition, guiding them in self-care strategies and lifestyle modifications to help manage their symptoms effectively. This comprehensive care model not only addresses the physical limitations caused by endometriosis but also fosters a sense of control and confidence in managing the condition.
