How does pelvic floor therapy help with prolapse?

No, your organs aren’t falling out — but your pelvic floor could use some backup.

If you’ve been told you have a prolapse, it can feel heavy — literally and emotionally.
Words like bulging, pressure, descent… they don’t exactly inspire confidence.

But here’s the truth:
Pelvic organ prolapse is common. It’s manageable. And it doesn’t automatically mean surgery.

At YFS (Your Form Sux), we help people regain control, rebuild strength, and feel normal again with movement-based, evidence-informed pelvic floor therapy.

💡 What Is Prolapse?

Pelvic organ prolapse happens when one or more pelvic organs (bladder, uterus, or rectum) shift downward due to weakened or imbalanced pelvic floor support.

Common causes include:

• Pregnancy + childbirth
• Chronic constipation or straining
• Heavy lifting with poor technique
• Hysterectomy or pelvic surgery
• Hormonal shifts (perimenopause/menopause)
• High-impact activity over time

It’s graded from mild (Grade 1) to more advanced (Grade 3/4) — but even low-grade prolapse can cause frustrating symptoms.

🔍 Common Signs You Might Have Prolapse:

• A sensation of heaviness or pressure in the vagina or perineum
• Feeling like “something is falling out”
• Bulging sensation, especially at the end of the day
• Trouble emptying your bladder or bowel completely
• Leaking when lifting, sneezing, or exercising
• Discomfort with sex
• A visible bulge at the vaginal opening (in more advanced stages)

Important: Not all prolapse is painful — but that doesn’t mean it’s not affecting your function.

✅ How Pelvic Floor Therapy Helps

Pelvic physio doesn’t “reverse” prolapse — but it can support, stabilize, and improve function so you feel stronger, more confident, and less symptomatic.

Here’s how we help at YFS:

1. Build Functional Strength in the Pelvic Floor + Core

Forget endless Kegels.
We teach you how to activate, coordinate, and load your pelvic floor in real-life movement — not just lying on your back.

This includes:

• Targeted pelvic floor training
• Breath + pressure system control
• Glute, hip, and deep core integration
• Smart progression to lifting, walking, running, or whatever you love

👉 Think of it like scaffolding for your organs — and we’re helping you rebuild it.

2. Reduce Pressure + Improve Posture

Prolapse is often a pressure problem — not just a strength one.
We assess:

• Your breathing mechanics
• How you brace or bear down
• Standing + sitting posture
• Core and rib cage alignment

Then we retrain your system to manage load better — so less pressure pushes downward on the pelvic organs.

3. Address Symptoms You Might Be Avoiding

Yes, we talk about:

• Bowel habits
• Bladder function
• Sex and comfort
• How to move without leaking or feeling vulnerable

It’s all connected — and we treat it all with professionalism, privacy, and zero judgment.

4. Help You Avoid or Delay Surgery

For many people with Grade 1 or 2 prolapse, pelvic floor therapy alone is enough to eliminate symptoms and return to full function.

Even if you’re considering surgery, prehab helps improve outcomes.
And if you’ve already had surgery, we’re here for post-op rehab to rebuild strength safely.

💬 “Can I Still Lift, Train, or Run?”

Yes — with a plan.
We don’t believe in bubble-wrapping bodies. We believe in loading smarter, not avoiding forever.

At YFS, we help you:

• Understand your limits (and expand them)
• Progress exercises with confidence
• Lift, move, and train without fear
• Feel strong, even with prolapse

Because you’re not fragile. You just need the right tools.

Final Word: Your Organs Aren’t Falling Out — Your System Needs Support

Prolapse doesn’t mean your life is over.
It means your body is asking for stability, strength, and strategic support — and that’s what we do best at YFS.

Whether you’ve just been diagnosed or you’ve been quietly dealing with the pressure for years, pelvic floor therapy can change everything.
