Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Pelvic Organ Prolapse
When your pelvic floor lacks the strength to fully support your vagina, uterus, bladder, and rectum, one or more of these organs can drop lower in the pelvis or “prolapse.” You may feel a bulge or heaviness in your vagina or worry that something is about to fall out. Don’t worry — PT is proven to help. Let’s restore that pelvic floor!
At Origin, we’ve helped hundreds of patients manage and treat prolapse. Get treatment virtually, right from home, or see a PT in our clinics.

What Causes Pelvic Organ Prolapse
With pregnancy, your pelvic floor supports a baby for months. Add the strain of childbirth and it can become weak. With menopause, hormonal changes weaken muscles, including the pelvic floor. Other causes of prolapse include chronic constipation or coughing, repetitive heavy lifting or intense exercise, and nerve or muscle disease.
Work 1:1 with a Physical Therapist
Partner with your PT to create a personalized treatment plan to strengthen your pelvic floor. Your plan may include:
- Techniques to reduce pressure
- Coordination & strengthening exercises
- Manual therapy for your pelvic floor
Guidance on using vaginal weights or a referral for a pessary.
Power Up Your Pelvic Floor
Physical therapy for 12-16 weeks can improve prolapse by 1 grade (with uterine prolapse, that’s equal to the distance from the vaginal opening to halfway to the cervix). You may experience relief from discomfort even sooner.
Common & Treatable
Prolapse is a common pelvic floor disorder and risk goes up with vaginal delivery, number of deliveries, and age. Physical therapy has been found to improve prolapse, without surgery.
