Pelvic Organ Prolapse

Prolapse is the dropping of pelvic organs into spaces they should not occupy. Prolapse can occur for a variety of reasons and can be treated by pelvic floor Physiotherapy. Pelvic physical therapists can help patients choose appropriate exercise programs to limit progression of prolapse as well as improve strength to decrease pain or discomfort. Depending on the type of prolapse, urination and bowel movements can be impacted. Physiotherapy can help with strategies to improve these symptoms.
