In Episode 76 of the Not Your Mother's Pelvic Floor podcast, Aliya chats with Pelvic Floor Physiotherapist and Endo Warrior Jill Mueller all about her personal experience with endometriosis, how she conquered her own endo pain by addressing her brain + nervous system, and how she helps her patients feel better when dealing with their own endometriosis symptoms. In this episode, you'll hear Jill and Aliya chat about:Whether Jill wants her mother's pelvic floor...or not!What endometriosis is, what it can feel like, how it is diagnosed, and how it is treated.How Jill figured out she had endometriosis, the treatment she had, and what actually helped her become pain-free.Why Jill is a retired perfectionist and why her own to-do lists were activating her nervous system negatively and making her pain worse.What pain is, how the brain processes it, and why the context of our pain matters so much.A crash course in pain science and the hypersensitive nervous system.About Jill:Jill has been a physiotherapist since 2001. Her decision to pivot her career towards pelvic health emerged from her own experience with years of period pain and fertility challenges due to Endometriosis. Diving into pain science and research on the disease, she realized there is a lack of information delivered and implemented for those suffering with "endo". Whether 1:1, in groups, or speaking internationally, her passion is to help people suffering with pelvic health symptoms, and educate other health care practitioners worldwide about this disease. Learn from Jill on Instagram @endotogether and learn more about her work at www.endotogether.com.
