• Endometriosis

    Endometriosis affects more than 1 in 10 Australian women and is a highly individualised disease. The Australian Government first released a National Action Plan for endometriosis in 2018, which means most of the funded research in this area is quite recent. There are still many studies to be done to truly understand the causes, management and long-term implications. What we know to date is that a multi-disciplinary approach is paramount for optimal outcomes in treating pelvic pain and other symptoms associated with endometriosis. Physiotherapy plays an important role in assessment and treatment of these troublesome symptoms.
