Understand the concern
What may be happening.
Prolapse occurs when pelvic support tissues allow one or more organs to descend. Physical therapy does not guarantee anatomical reversal, but it can improve coordination, pressure strategies, symptom management, and preparation or recovery if surgery is part of the plan.
This page is educational and cannot diagnose a condition. Symptoms that are new, severe, changing, or medically concerning should be discussed with an appropriate healthcare professional.

Improve support
Train strength, relaxation, endurance, and timing based on assessment findings.
- 02
Manage pressure
Coordinate breathing and core strategies for lifting, exercise, coughing, and bowels.
- 03
Plan every option
Support conservative care and provide prehab or rehab if surgery is included.
