Pelvic pain can affect many aspects of daily life and is often more common than many women realize.

Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when the muscles and supportive tissues of the pelvic floor become weakened or stretched, allowing one or more pelvic organs to shift downward. Women may experience symptoms such as a feeling of heaviness or pressure in the pelvis, a bulging sensation, or discomfort with activity. Pelvic floor physical therapy can help improve pelvic floor support, coordination, and pressure management to reduce symptoms and help you move through daily life with greater comfort and confidence.
