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.

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.
