Abstract

Endometriose beeinflusst den Beckenboden funktionell und strukturell: Hypertonus, myofasziale Dysfunktionen und aberrante motorische Muster begünstigen chronische Schmerzen, Blasen- und Darmstörungen sowie Dyspareunie. Therapieansätze umfassen spezialisierte Physiotherapie, manuelle und viszerale Techniken, Biofeedback, Atem- und vegetative Regulation sowie multimodale, interdisziplinäre Konzepte zur Normalisierung muskulärer Spannung und Lebensqualität.
