Ever had ostepathic treatment for endometriosis?

Hi, I’m a mature female student training to be an osteopath, currently in year 3 of a 4 year degree (in England). I don’t suffer from endometriosis and feel like a bit of an imposter here :-0 but I hope no-one will mind me using the forum to try to gain some insight into this distressing condition. As part of our training we learn to identify all sorts of conditions either so that we can treat the patient with manual therapy or when this is not possible, so that we can refer patients on for tests or to see the relevant specialists. With regards to endometriosis we have been asked to look into cases where osteopaths (or possibly other manual therapists such as chiropractors, physiotherapists, massage therapists, etc) have been able to help treat/relieve pain or other symptoms linked to  endometriosis. I thought asking real people might be more useful than reading trawling through medical journals and text books! I would be grateful for any feedback you have regarding any non-drug based treatment you have tried – osteopathy in particular but anything else would also be of interest. Many thanks

Sorry I just noticed this now not sure why not earlier but yes I can feel it break up the scar tissue and blood start flowing where it is supposed to. I just had surgery for Endo and I have an embedded ovary and ureter due to scar tissue that they could not get out of the pelvic wall so when I am able to start again I will start to see if it will work to help release it.

Besides Endometriosis I use it for Fibromyalgia as well, by rolling up and down the spine as well as the bum area which a lot of nerves run down. It has helped but I have to remember for myself that I have been chronically ill for 25 yrs that it just wont go away I have to keep at it to feel better.

I have met Larry Wurn from Clear passage 2 yrs ago at an Endometriosis symposium. His technique is similar to that of the yamuna ball rolling but more hands on. They do the therapy for you. His wife had Endometriosis and this is how he got into this because he was trying to help heal his wife.

there are many success stories of women who have had treatments done that are no longer infertile, no longer have adhesion pain or bowel obstructions.

It is expensive so I can no see him but one day I hope to.

Thanks for responding. I hadn't heard of either of the two therapies you mentioned so that's something for me to look into and see if there is any cross-over with what I am learning. I understand that it must have been a difficult journey for you and that nothing natural as you say, can totally stop the pain. But do you find that breaking up the scar tissue eases pain at all? Or do you get something else out it?  Also I would be interested to hear if you had had any personal experience of clear passage therapy or if not why you think it would be useful.

I don't think anything natural helped with the pain on endometriosis or the symptoms however now after living with it for 24yrs I use Yamuna body rolling as a technique to break up car tissue. If I could afford clear passage therapy I would go there ad well. I have tried diets, Physio, acupuncture chiro etc but this is an estrogen fed disease so it's like asking someone with cancer the same question.  Nothing helped me and I suffered long. 17 yrs to be exact before they discovered I had stage IV
