In this article by Leslie Wakefield, she explores how physical therapy can help patients with entrometriosis adhesions, which can cause debilitiating pain and lead women to try all sorts of treatments from pain killers to anti-depressant medications. Specifically she points to the potential of Myofascial Release.
From the article: "Using specialized manual therapy techniques these adhesions and fascial restrictions can be softened or released, sothat the pressure they put on surrounding areas is relieved...If the endometriosis is active, it is always possible that new fascial restrictions will reform, due to the continued chronic healing process that is ongoing in the body. However by learning self-treatment techniques patients can often manage their own symptoms quite well."
