With the urgent need for multidisciplinary care for endometriosis patients over their lifetime, PRM is proud to share that we have launched nationwide the PRM Center of Excellence – the only endometriosis center offering lifetime care that addresses the inflammation and comorbidities that coincide with endometriosis in one place.
The future is in lifetime care and management of pelvic pain and endometriosis – PRM is the future. We’ve transformed how pelvic pain and endometriosis patients receive care through validation and sustainable pain relief – and now with the PRM COE, all patients can access this transformative way of care.
With a goal to reduce the total number of surgeries endometriosis patients must undergo in their lifetime, the PRM Center of Excellence provides lifetime care for endometriosis patients through a three-step approach:
- Pre-Habilitation
- Endometriosis Excision Surgery
- Post-Habilitation
Working with both pelvic pain specialists and endometriosis excision surgeons through the PRM Center of Excellence means endometriosis patients will not only experience enhanced surgical outcomes, but better understand their condition, how it affects their pelvic floor, and receive the treatment and guidance needed to manage it.
Understanding Endometriosis
Endometriosis is a systemic, inflammatory disease process. Every time there is a menstrual cycle, there is inflammation, healing, and scarring, repeatedly over a person’s lifetime.
Commonly found hiding in small areas of the pelvis, endometriosis lesions lead to the pelvic floor muscles entering into a chronic guarding state which squeezes the nerves of the pelvic floor and causes chronic pelvic pain, emphasizing the need for lifetime management through the PRM Center of Excellence. By addressing the root causes of inflammation and pain, the PRM Protocol™ aims to improve the quality of life for those suffering from endometriosis and its associated comorbidities.
What is Pre-Habilitation?
Pre-habilitation refers to preparing the body to undergo endometriosis excision surgery with the goal of reducing inflammation in the pelvic floor, addressing comorbidities such as bladder pain and chronic constipation, and optimizing surgical outcomes.
At PRM, endometriosis patients receive treatment through the PRM Protocol™ which reduces inflammation in the pelvic floor, resulting in overall increased pelvic floor function and decreased pelvic pain.

What is Endometriosis Excision Surgery?
Endometriosis excision surgery is a laparoscopic procedure that removes endometriosis lesions from the body. Excision surgery is the gold standard in the treatment of endometriosis and through the PRM Center of Excellence, patients find comfort in knowing that each excision surgeon has experience in complex cases and is fellowship-trained, emphasizing their expertise in treating endometriosis.

What is Post-Habilitation?
Post-habilitation refers to addressing residual inflammation and comorbidities from endometriosis following a patient’s surgery. Because of the inflammatory nature of endometriosis, it is important for endometriosis patients to receive treatment through the PRM Protocol™ not only in the weeks following their surgery, but as needed in the years to come.
