Prolapse

Prolapse, or pelvic organ prolapse, is a condition where the pelvic organs, such as the bladder, uterus, or rectum, slip out of their normal position due to weakened pelvic floor muscles. This condition can cause discomfort, urinary issues, or even affect sexual health. However, prolapse can be effectively managed and improved through targeted physiotherapy.

Prolapse physiotherapy involves specialized exercises and techniques designed to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, improve posture, and relieve symptoms associated with prolapse. Working with a trained physiotherapist, you will learn how to manage the condition and prevent it from worsening.

Benefits of Prolapse Physiotherapy Treatment:

• Strengthens Pelvic Floor Muscles
• Reduces Symptoms
• Improves Bladder and Bowel Function
• Enhances Posture and Alignment
• Supports Recovery Post-Childbirth

How Does Prolapse Physiotherapy Work?

Your physiotherapist will assess your individual condition and create a tailored treatment plan to suit your specific needs. This may include:

• Pelvic Floor Exercises (Kegel exercises): To strengthen and retrain the pelvic muscles.


• Biofeedback Training: To help you identify and control pelvic floor muscle contractions.


• Manual Therapy: To improve muscle function and relieve tension.


• Lifestyle and Posture Education: To help avoid activities or habits that may worsen prolapse symptoms.


• Breathing Techniques: To reduce pressure on the pelvic area and enhance relaxation.

Prolapse physiotherapy can be beneficial at any stage of the condition. Whether you are experiencing early symptoms or managing an advanced case, physiotherapy can provide significant relief and improve your quality of life. Early intervention often leads to better long-term outcomes.
