Reclaim Your Core: The Power of Pelvic PT & Pilates for Prolapse Relief
The Power of Pelvic Physical Therapy and Pilates for Prolapse Relief
Do you feel a heaviness "down there"? Bulging, leaking, or discomfort during daily activities?
You’re not alone—and you’re not stuck. Pelvic organ prolapse affects nearly 1 in 2 women after childbirth, and while it can feel overwhelming, there are real solutions that don’t require surgery.
At The Pilates RX, we specialize in combining Pelvic Physical Therapy and Pilates to help you feel strong, supported, and confident again.
🌸 What Is Prolapse—and Why Does It Happen?
Prolapse happens when pelvic organs (like the bladder, uterus, or rectum) shift downward due to weakened pelvic floor muscles or improper abdominal pressure on a tight pelvic floor. This can lead to:
A feeling of pressure or "something falling out"
Difficulty emptying your bladder or bowels
Urinary urgency, increased frequency, and leaking
Pain or discomfort with movement or intimacy
Leaking when sneezing, laughing, or exercising
💪 The Power of Pelvic Physical Therapy
Pelvic Physical Therapy is a game-changer for managing prolapse. It helps by:
✅ Teaching you how to activate (and relax!) your pelvic floor properly
✅ Reducing symptoms like pressure, bulging, and leaking
✅ Improving posture and breathing mechanics
✅ Using hands-on techniques to support your recovery
💬 "I didn’t even know I was pushing down instead of lifting. PT helped me reconnect with my body in ways I never thought possible."
✨ Why We Add Pilates for Even Better Results
Pilates, when tailored for pelvic health, strengthens your deep core system—which includes the pelvic floor, abs, hips, and back. It helps you:
Move with better alignment and less strain
Strengthen from the inside out
Rebuild confidence in exercise and everyday life
Prevent future prolapse or progression
We modify every movement to keep it prolapse-safe, meaning no downward pressure, breath-holding, or straining.
