This EndoLife

Structural Support, Pain Signals, and Endometriosis


Listen Later

This is the third in my IG Live series for Endometriosis Awareness Month. I get a lot of great feedback from listeners when I share my IG Lives on the podcast, so I’m doing it again!

Each week is themed on an area of healing with endo, and this week we’re talking about structural problems and pain signals. Structural issues like adhesions can affect not just pain but symptoms such as endo belly and urinary frequency or even difficulty emptying the bladder, so addressing this is a crucial part of healing.

These IG Lives revolve around your questions, so if you want to submit one, follow me on Instagram @theendobellycoach and send me a question when you see my Stories calling for submissions.

This week I’m answering…

  • What’s causing painful sex after excision surgery? If it’s adhesions, what can we do?
  • How do endo-related adhesions cause SIBO?
  • What range of symptoms can adhesions on the bowel cause?
  • Is there a way to assess your own pelvic floor?

  • If you want to learn more about how structural support fits into a healing plan for endo, join my free Endo Awareness Month Masterclass - The Five Key Pillars of Healing: How to Lower Endo Symptoms and Take Back Control Without the Overwhelm.

    This two-hour masterclass will take you through the pivotal first sessions I have with every client to determine their own personal roadmap and then the proven key pillars of healing that I've used to help my clients experience symptom relief and finally get their endo under control time and time again.

    The best bit? I’ve removed the fluff, the excess and the confusion to deliver you the clearest, most effective strategies that will get you results quicker and without the overwhelm.

    Sign up to the free masterclass here.

    In this workshop you will:

    1. Define your why to motivate you and anchor you if things get tough and give you the momentum to get going. 
    2. Identify Your Core Endo Challenges so that you can prioritise focusing on the symptoms that are affecting you the most, rather than having to tackle everything all at once. 
    3. Get Clear on Your Desired Symptom Outcomes so that you can see where your roadmap is going and put the right healing strategies in place to get there. What could you do if you felt better?
    4. Learn the Key Pillars of Healing so you can establish which strategies to start first and which to begin later in your journey.
    5. Set Your Goals and create 1-3 baby steps that you can map out your journey and get started with right away.


      I’m holding this masterclass on three different dates throughout March:

      • Wednesday 22nd March, 6.30pm GMT
      • Thursday 30th March, 7pm BST

      • Places are limited because I want to be able to answer all your questions, so sign up and book your spot asap. Click here to learn more.
