Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) can sound scary — but let’s clear up a big myth:
Your grade of prolapse does not determine how you feel.

There are 4 grades of prolapse, ranging from mild descent to tissues reaching the vaginal opening. But here’s the important part ⤵️

Two people with the same grade can have completely different symptoms — or none at all.
That’s because symptoms are influenced by so much more than anatomy, including:
✨ Pelvic floor muscle function (often a mix of tension + weakness)
✨ Posture and alignment
✨ Breathing + pressure management
✨ Core + hip system coordination

Pelvic organ prolapse is a whole-system issue, not just a pelvic floor issue — and that’s exactly how we treat it. We assess how your body moves, how you manage pressure, and how your pelvic floor responds, then build a plan to help you feel strong, supported, and confident again.

You’re not defined by your grade.
You’re not broken.
And you can feel better with the right guidance.

🌸 Fun Fact Friday! 🌸

During pregnancy, your pelvic floor muscles carry up to 2.5x more load thanks to increased weight, fluid volume, and all the postural changes your body adapts to over 9 months.

This is exactly why pelvic floor PT during and after pregnancy is so important. We help your body adjust to these changes, support your pelvic floor, hips, spine, and ribcage, and set you up for a smoother delivery and recovery.

Pregnancy may change everything—but you don’t have to be uncomfortable and just deal with it.

Your pelvic floor deserves some love. 💖

🚨 Pelvic health in the news!

A recent article shared the story of a woman who was 4 months postpartum after an easy pregnancy, delivery, and recovery… until she had sudden, intense pelvic pain that felt like she’d been “kicked in the tailbone.”

Here’s the truth ⬇️
You do not need to have pain, complications, or a difficult birth to benefit from pelvic floor physical therapy. Pregnancy creates huge changes in your body—
✨ increased blood + fluid volume
✨ weight distribution changes
✨ shifting pelvic + hip mechanics
✨ ribcage expansion
✨ full-body postural changes

All of this impacts how you move, breathe, and function. And just like any major physical change… you need rehab.

Pelvic floor PT looks at your whole system—pelvic floor, hips, spine, ribcage, core, breathing patterns—and helps you recover well and prevent future issues like tailbone pain, leaking, prolapse symptoms, painful in*******se, and more.

If you’re pregnant, newly postpartum, or even months (or years!) out… pelvic health PT is for you.

Tell every mama you know. 💙

Pregnant and wondering when you should see a pelvic health PT?

✨The answer is… now.✨

You don’t need to be in pain to benefit from an evaluation—in fact, it’s even better if you’re not. Early pregnancy visits give us the chance to look at how your whole body is moving (pelvic floor, hips, spine, ribcage, feet… all of it) and teach you strategies to prevent pain before it starts.

Pregnancy changes everything, and with the right guidance, your body can move through those changes with more ease—helping you feel better now, during labor, and in postpartum recovery.

Questions about what an evaluation looks like or when to start?

Thinking about getting pregnant? 💛

Seeing a pelvic floor therapist before pregnancy is one of the best things you can do for your body.

✨ We establish a baseline for your pelvic floor strength + coordination
✨ Assess hip, pelvis, and tailbone mobility
✨ Identify movement patterns + restrictions that may impact pregnancy

A pre-pregnancy assessment helps us address issues early so your body moves into pregnancy with more ease, less dysfunction, and better support.
Your future self will thank you. 🤍

Big win for women’s health! 💪

The FDA has officially removed the boxed warning label from vaginal estrogen — a huge step forward in recognizing its safety and importance.

Vaginal estrogen supports pelvic floor function, bladder health, and sexual wellness, especially during and after menopause. Here are some functions of estrogen and your pelvic floor:
✨maintains thickness, elasticity and hydration of the pelvic floor tissues
✨improves blood flow
✨enhance muscle function

We’re so grateful for the many local providers who understand hormones and pelvic health and help women get the care they deserve. 💙✨

✨ Myth: Urinary incontinence is caused by weak pelvic floor muscles.

💡 Truth: Many people leak because their pelvic floor is actually too tight.

When the muscles can’t relax, they can’t function properly—and Kegels can make things worse.

Start by learning to release before you strengthen. Your pelvic floor will thank you. 💙

We’ve had several new patients lately who said they tried pelvic floor therapy before… but never had an internal exam.
Here’s the thing — an internal exam is often the missing piece when it comes to fully understanding what’s happening with your pelvic floor. There are several reasons why you may not want to have an internal exam, and that is ok! But we have to at least have that conversation and figure out a plan that address the problem so you can get better. You are not broken and you can feel better!

Your pelvic floor and nervous system are best friends — for better or worse. 🧠💪

When stress hits, your brain tells your pelvic floor to tighten (yes, even if it’s “just” work stress).

Chronic tension can lead to pain, leaking, urgency, or discomfort.

A skilled pelvic floor therapist looks beyond your muscles to calm your whole system. 🌿
