Endo Research Update: Episode 109 with Michelle Lyons

Hello and also HOW can we be at the end of March already??!! In today's podcast, we are going down a nerdy research rabbit hole - ready? Let's go!

As you probably know, March is Endometriosis Awareness Month and although we are only a quarter of the way through the year, there are already some noteworthy papers out there, from acknowledging the many issues people with endometriosis face, from dismissal and gaslighting to clinical diagnosis, assessment and pelvic rehab strategies - what the evidence actually is showing (some of it may surprise you!

I'm going to talk through what these research papers are saying, why they matter and how we can use their findings to improve the care of people dealing with pain, fatigue, GI, MSK, urologic and neurological issues, as well as including nociplastic changes - and how the evidence is really supportive of a multimodal pelvic rehab approach, which we're talking about pelvic floor therapy, tens, movement or manual therapy - there's also some interesting implications for including telehealth options as part of our psychologically informed care...

I'm in the middle of doing my regular research updates for my online Female Pelvic Pain Rehab course - I'm starting with the Endometriosis module but expect updates on vulvodynia, pudendal neuralgia and bladder pain syndrome...as well as how we can include a bio psychosocial approach to assessment and differential diagnosis, as well as an integrated treatment toolbox - if you're already enrolled, you'll get all the updates as they are released and if you're not...come and join the pelvic pain rehab conversation!

All of the details of my online courses can be found at CelebrateMuliebrity.com - let me know if you have any questions!

Until next time, Onwards & Upwards! Mx
