Pelvic Organ Prolapse

Relieve Pressure, Restore Function, and Feel Supported

What Is Pelvic Organ Prolapse?

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) occurs when one or more of the pelvic organs—such as the bladder, uterus, or rectum—descends and presses against the vaginal or rectal wall due to weakness or dysfunction of the pelvic floor muscles and connective tissue.

Prolapse is often associated with childbirth, menopause, heavy lifting, chronic constipation, or prior pelvic surgeries. While common, prolapse is not inevitable—and many cases can be effectively managed without surgery.

Cystocele (Bladder Prolapse)

Bulging of the bladder into the front wall of the vagina.

A cystocele occurs when the bladder drops from its normal position and bulges into the front wall of the vagina. This can lead to pelvic pressure, urinary incontinence, frequent urgency, or difficulty fully emptying the bladder.

Rectocele (Rectal Prolapse)

Bulging of the rectum into the back wall of the vagina.
A rectocele happens when the rectum pushes into the back wall of the vagina. It may cause a sensation of pelvic fullness, difficulty with bowel movements, or the need to apply pressure to the vaginal wall to pass stool.

Uterine Prolapse

Descent of the uterus into the vaginal canal.
This condition involves the descent of the uterus into the vaginal canal due to weakened pelvic support. Symptoms may include a heavy or pulling sensation, tissue bulging at the vaginal opening, or discomfort with prolonged standing.

Vaginal Vault Prolapse

Post-hysterectomy collapse of the top of the vaginal wall.
Common after hysterectomy, vaginal vault prolapse is the collapse of the top portion of the vaginal wall. It can result in pressure, bulging, or discomfort, often worsening with activity or at the end of the day.

Enterocele

Small intestine pushes into the vaginal space.
An enterocele occurs when the small intestine pushes into the vaginal space, usually through the top of the vagina. It often presents as a deep, dragging pelvic pressure or fullness, particularly after standing or lifting.

Early intervention leads to better outcomes.

Why Treatment Matters

Pelvic organ prolapse can interfere with bladder, bowel, and sexual function—and often impacts physical activity, intimacy, and self-confidence.

Without proper treatment, symptoms may worsen over time. Early, conservative intervention can delay or prevent the need for surgery, improve pelvic support, and significantly reduce symptoms.

Pelvic health physical therapy offers a safe, non-invasive, and effective approach to restoring muscle function, pressure regulation, and pelvic alignment.

From Our Patients:

This was the best investment in my health I could have made.

For about a year—maybe longer—I was dealing with issues like not being able to hold my bladder – I remember literally running down the hallways because I couldn’t hold my bladder. It was constant. That, along with the painful sex, really impacted my quality of life. I was young, and no one around me was talking about it. I had no idea what was going on.

I have seen remarkable improvement and can now enjoy simple things like taking a walk and laughing without embarrassment. It feels good to exercise again, too!

 

—G.D.

I was pretty skeptical that this would work, as I had never heard of this type of physical therapy before. I had six, once a week appointments scheduled…I began to feel better after two!

 

–E.W.

Many women suffer with pain, bowel or bladder problems and don’t realize that pelvic floor physical therapy can help. Gaining a sense of control over a frustrating and often times debilitating condition is life changing.

Frequently Asked

Many patients come to us after feeling rushed, overlooked, or given a one-size-fits-all plan elsewhere. Exceptional pelvic health care requires time, expertise, and individualized attention—conditions that traditional insurance models simply don’t allow.

Our out-of-network structure is intentional. It allows us to deliver the level of care you deserve.

Patients often find that investing in specialized, expert-led care leads to faster, more meaningful improvement—and ultimately reduces the time, cost, and frustration spent on ineffective or fragmented treatments.

At Pelvic Health Solutions, you receive care designed around you: private, precise, and rooted in clinical excellence.

Pelvic health physical therapy is a specialized area of physical therapy that focuses on assessing and treating conditions related to the pelvic floor muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues. The pelvic floor plays a crucial role in supporting the pelvic organs, controlling bladder and bowel function, and contributing to sexual health.

Pelvic health physical therapy focuses on the muscles, tissues, and organs specifically in the pelvic area, which include the bladder and bowel. It helps with problems like pelvic pain, urinary or bowel issues, and discomfort during sex.

Orthopedic physical therapy, on the other hand, deals with muscles and joints in other parts of the body, like the arms, legs, and back, to help with pain, stiffness, and injuries in those areas.

elvic floor physical therapy applies to individuals with a range of symptoms. Some of the most common ones we see are:

Pelvic Pain: Chronic pelvic pain, pain during intercourse (dyspareunia), tailbone pain, or pain in the pelvic region with movement, sitting, or pressure.

Urinary Symptoms: Urinary incontinence (leakage of urine), urinary urgency or frequency, difficulty emptying the bladder, or nocturia (excessive nighttime urination).

Bowel Symptoms: Fecal incontinence (involuntary leakage of stool or gas), constipation, rectal pain/spasms, or difficulty with bowel movements.

Pregnancy and Postpartum: Pelvic health physical therapy can help prepare the pelvic floor for childbirth and address postpartum issues such as pelvic organ prolapse, perineal pain, or diastasis recti.

Pelvic Organ Prolapse: Descending or bulging of pelvic organs (such as the bladder, uterus, or rectum) into the vaginal canal.

Male Pelvic Conditions: Chronic pelvic pain in men, chronic prostatitis, and post-prostatectomy

If you’re considering scheduling your first visit, here’s what you can expect during the initial evaluation:

A comprehensive and respectful conversation
We begin by listening. All appointments are one-on-one with a dedicated pelvic floor physical therapist, in a private treatment room, for a full hour.

In your first session, your therapist will conduct a detailed medical and lifestyle history to better understand your symptoms, goals, and day-to-day function. Topics may include bladder, bowel, and sexual health—always discussed with care, professionalism, and respect for your comfort.

Clinical education tailored to you
You’ll receive clear, expert guidance on how the pelvic floor works, what may be contributing to your symptoms, and how physical therapy can help. Research shows that patients who understand their conditions have better outcomes. We prioritize education, and not just exercises, in your care so that you understand the why and how of your symptoms. 

A thorough assessment
We assess posture, movement patterns, core stability, hip strength, breathing, and pelvic alignment. With your consent, we may offer an external and internal pelvic floor exam to assess strength, tone, and coordination. This is always optional and based on your comfort.

A personalized treatment plan
Before the session ends, your therapist will walk you through their findings and recommend a tailored and individualized plan for therapy — outlining what care may look like in the weeks ahead.

Our care model is centered around one-on-one treatment, clinical excellence, and compassionate support. We’re referred by over 100 doctors and have helped more than 5000 patients restore function, reduce symptoms, and feel confident in their bodies again.

Don’t struggle with your symptoms alone. Reach out to speak with one of our pelvic floor physical therapists.

Just like other therapies, it takes time and consistency to notice improvement. Healing time varies for each person. Some people might start feeling better after a few sessions, while others might need more time. It depends on how severe your symptoms are and how well you stick to your treatment plan.

Typically, we see our patients 1-2 times per week in order to make the most optimal recovery. Your therapist will work with you to create a plan that fits your needs and that helps you feel better as soon as possible!

This was the best investment in my health I could have made.

For about a year—maybe longer—I was dealing with issues like not being able to hold my bladder – I remember literally running down the hallways because I couldn’t hold my bladder. It was constant. That, along with the painful sex, really impacted my quality of life. I was young, and no one around me was talking about it. I had no idea what was going on.
 
One day, I stumbled across a podcast that had a pelvic floor physical therapist as a guest. She talked about what she saw in her patients, and I thought, “Oh my gosh, this is me.” She shared a resource to find registered pelvic floor PTs in your area, and that’s how I found Pelvic Health Solutions.
 
I had no idea what to expect—but I was so desperate for help that I didn’t even care what it entailed. It felt like a lifeline.
From the moment I walked in, everyone was so warm and friendly. I didn’t know anything about what treatment would involve, but I felt safe and cared for. My therapist was amazing. She told me what was happening every step of the way, and I felt like I was in really good hands the whole time.
 
The cost was definitely a concern—it was probably my biggest one. But I can honestly say now that it was the best investment in my health I could have made. And looking back, it paid off in every way. I’ve stayed healthy since, and I haven’t needed to go back. I still use the techniques I learned whenever symptoms pop up. 
 
I’ve told a lot of friends about it—especially as people start having babies. At first, they’re curious, then later they come back and say, “Remember when you did that? I need it now.” It’s something I’ll always recommend.
 
Three words I’d use to describe PHS: warm, long-lasting, educational.
