What exactly are you feeling "𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲"?

Is it prolapse?

Of course, the 𝗕𝗘𝗦𝗧 way to get that diagnosis is to see a Pelvic Therapist who has the expert training to properly diagnosis (𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘱𝘦𝘭𝘷𝘪𝘤 𝘧𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘱𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘺𝘱𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨)

Pelvic organ prolapse is far more common than most people realize — especially postpartum — and it doesn’t always look or feel the same for everyone.

Here’s what many people don’t know:

✨ Signs are what a provider can see or feel on an exam- 𝗖𝗥𝗨𝗖𝗜𝗔𝗟 that you have the 𝗥𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 provider doing the exam!
✨ Symptoms are what you feel in daily life- this is what YOU tell your provider you are experiencing. And 𝗡𝗢 it is 𝗻𝗼𝘁 something you have to just live with it

Signs and symptoms are not always on the same wavelength.. you 𝘔𝘈𝘠 have signs but no symptoms, and vice versa.

Our job is to determine what exactly is going on.

Things to know:

🚫 Prolapse does not automatically mean surgery- actually this should NOT be the first action step
🚫 It does not mean you can’t exercise or live fully- strength training and exercise is CRUCIAL for pelvic organ prolapse management
🚫 And it does not mean you’re broken- you've got this, and we are here for you!

With the right support, education, and movement strategy, many people reduce symptoms, feel stronger, and regain confidence in their bodies.

You are allowed to ask questions.
You are allowed to move your body.
And you are allowed to get help.

SHOULD you see a pelvic floor therapist?

Are your symptoms those that would benefit from seeing one?

Probably, yes, but we may be biased!

3 reasons many see us are:
1️⃣ they are experiencing symptoms that are limiting them from doing what they want to do, or impacting their daily life
2️⃣preparing for an event that is stressful on the body, preparing for birth, or wanting to get ready for something they are training for
3️⃣they want to prevent an issue from occurring - e.g. setting themselves up for a more optimal postpartum experience by seeing us during pregnancy

We are here for YOU if you're ready for an individualized plan to get you on track!
