My story begins as a teenager, I always had heavy and painful periods and then they appeared to get less painful as I got older but continued to always be heavy but manageable. I was questioned to have endometriosis in my early 30s but no diagnostic tests were done by the GP and I continued on. Ten years later I proceeded to sit in my gynaecologist office to be told I had extensive endometriosis (stage 4) after it took 2 years of a diagnosis after it was picked up on a MRI for a hip injury I had suffered.
I found Pip online after I did some online research and reading in a bookstore and felt to explore the ‘massage’ journey for symptom relief. The best way to describe my symptoms in the last few years was heavy, bloating and painful periods (requiring to be on medication for pain and breaking down clots). I am a person that can function and work with my periods but I have a very high pain tolerance so this helped somewhat! But I started to notice that between my periods I would feel ‘stiff’ a lot in my body (especially after exercise), and I could always ‘feel’ my endometriosis so to speak and hence would be readily aware of it on most days. I started seeing the results after my second massage with my period requiring no medication. I still felt bloated and uncomfortable but couldn’t believe not needing to take any medication. I didn’t understand about the ‘3’ massages but I clearly get it now after having my 3rd massage! I am now completely symptom free between my periods and after exercising. I sometimes have to take medication for pain and clotting reduction but hardly ever and I notice it’s more to do with stress. All I can say is wow and massage is so underrated in the medicine world - it should be recognised a whole lot more. For someone who was going to have a major operation to now not currently needing one…I don’t need to write anything else but thank-you Pip for helping me enter a ‘new world’ of symptom free, I still can’t quite believe it :) Claire
