Pelvic Organ Prolapse Physiotherapy
Expert support to manage prolapse symptoms and restore confidence
What is Pelvic Organ Prolapse?
Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when the pelvic floor muscles and tissues weaken, allowing one or more pelvic organs (such as the bladder, uterus, or bowel) to descend and create a feeling of heaviness or bulging.
It is a common condition, especially after childbirth and during menopause—but it is often misunderstood and under-treated.
You may notice:
- A feeling of heaviness or dragging in the vagina
- A bulge or pressure sensation
- Bladder or bowel symptoms
- Discomfort during exercise or daily activities
- Reduced confidence and quality of life
