Complementary therapies
Endometriosis UK has compiled a booklet on complementary therapies, some of which are listed below. Please click here to order our publications.
Endometriosis UK does not recommend any particular treatment for endometriosis but supports patients seeking treatment options appropriate to their individual circumstances.
We recognise that some complementary therapies may be beneficial in controlling the symptoms of endometriosis. However, in the absence of evidence based on clinical trials, Endometriosis UK cannot endorse claims that such therapies control the disease.
It is important when embarking on a complementary therapy to ensure you are following the advice of a registered, professional practitioner. Please see our Links section for details of where to find one. Always consult your GP before you try a complementary therapy.
Yoga/Pilates: Less intensive than high-impact exercise, these programmes of stretches and breathing techniques are good for toning and strengthening muscles. Both yoga and Pilates are excellent for improving relaxation. After surgery, yoga and Pilates can help the body get back into shape by strengthening compromised abdominal and back muscles.
