Common but not normal—pelvic physiotherapy can help retrain your pelvic floor and improve bladder control.
Prolapse occurs when pelvic organs shift downward due to weak pelvic floor muscles. Physiotherapy can help manage symptoms and improve support through targeted exercises.
Both weakness and excessive tightness can cause symptoms like leakage, pain, or discomfort. A pelvic physiotherapist can assess and provide a tailored treatment plan.
Your physiotherapist will discuss your symptoms, medical history, and perform an assessment, which may include checking posture, movement, and internal or external pelvic floor muscle function (with consent).
Treatments may include pelvic floor exercises, manual therapy, education, lifestyle modifications, and sometimes biofeedback or electrical stimulation.
This varies based on your condition, but many patients see improvement within a few sessions, with follow-ups as needed.
