Pelvic Organ Prolapse

Whole‑body, supportive care for pelvic heaviness, pressure, bulging, postpartum changes, and midlife prolapse symptoms.

Pelvic organ prolapse is incredibly common, especially postpartum and during perimenopause or menopause — but many women feel scared or unsure about what it means. Prolapse doesn’t have to stop you from moving, exercising, or feeling confident in your body. Pelvic floor therapy can help you understand what’s happening, reduce symptoms, improve support, and feel more in control. I offer one‑on‑one, whole‑body care in a private, calm environment designed specifically for women.

Common Prolapse Symptoms I Treat

  • Pelvic heaviness or pressure

  • A feeling of “something dropping” or “falling out”

  • Bulging at the vaginal opening

  • Symptoms that worsen at the end of the day

  • Symptoms that increase with lifting or exercise

  • Postpartum prolapse changes

  • Prolapse related to perimenopause or menopause

  • Bladder or bowel changes associated with prolapse

  • Discomfort with standing, walking, or activity

  • Core weakness or instability

Why Pelvic Organ Prolapse  Happen

Prolapse occurs when the pelvic floor and surrounding support structures are not providing enough lift or tension to support the bladder, uterus, or rectum. This can happen after pregnancy and childbirth, during hormonal changes, with chronic pressure (like constipation or heavy lifting), or when the pelvic floor is either too weak or too tight. Core strength, hip mobility, posture, breathing mechanics, and daily habits all play a role. A whole‑body assessment helps us understand what your body needs to feel supported and strong.

How Pelvic Floor Therapy Helps

Pelvic floor therapy supports prolapse by improving strength, coordination, mobility, pressure management, and confidence. We’ll work on:

  • Pelvic floor activation and relaxation

  • Core strength and stability

  • Hip and pelvic mobility

  • Breathing mechanics for pressure control

  • Posture and movement strategies

  • Prolapse‑friendly exercise modifications

  • Gentle manual therapy (internal or external, only if appropriate and comfortable)

  • Strategies to reduce heaviness and pressure

  • Lifestyle and daily habit adjustments

You’ll learn how prolapse works, why your symptoms are happening, and what you can do to feel more supported and confident.

What to Expect in Your Sessions

Your sessions are always one‑on‑one in a private, supportive environment. We begin with a whole‑body assessment, discuss your goals, and create a plan tailored to your stage of life — whether postpartum, perimenopause, menopause, or beyond. You’ll receive clear education, gentle guidance, and practical strategies you can use right away.
