What is pelvic organ prolapse?
Pelvic organ prolapse is when the bladder, uterus, or bowel descends because the pelvic floor support has weakened, often after childbirth or with age. For mild to moderate prolapse, pelvic floor physiotherapy is a recommended first-line treatment that eases symptoms and improves support. More severe prolapse may also need a medical or surgical opinion. Any intimate or internal assessment happens only with your informed consent and privacy, and you can stop at any time. Internal assessment is not mandatory to book or begin care, and your physiotherapist should explain all options and only proceed with your consent.
Women's Health Physiotherapy
Pelvic Organ Prolapse is assessed and treated under Women's Health physiotherapy (pregnancy & pelvic health). Prenatal, postnatal, and pelvic floor physiotherapy for every stage of a woman's life. Requires relevant specialty training and works alongside your medical team where needed. Any intimate or internal assessment is consent-based, private, and optional, and you can stop at any time. Internal assessment is not mandatory to book or begin care.
