Pelvic Organ Prolapse in Mississauga

Pelvic organ prolapse can cause pressure, discomfort, and changes in bladder or bowel function. These symptoms can affect daily activities, but they can be managed with the right approach.

At Elevation Physiotherapy & Wellness, pelvic floor physiotherapy provides a structured, non-invasive way to improve support, reduce symptoms, and restore function.

Understanding Pelvic Organ Prolapse

Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when the pelvic floor no longer provides adequate support for the bladder, uterus, or rectum.

Common symptoms include:

• Pelvic pressure or heaviness
• A bulging or dragging sensation
• Urinary leakage or difficulty emptying
• Discomfort with activity or movement
• Bowel changes such as constipation

These changes are often associated with pregnancy, childbirth, hormonal changes, or increased strain over time.

A Targeted, Non-Invasive Approach

Physiotherapy focuses on improving how the pelvic floor functions to better support the pelvic organs.

Your treatment may include:

• Pelvic floor retraining to improve strength and coordination
• Breath and pressure management strategies
• Targeted exercises to support core and pelvic stability
• Manual therapy to address tension and mobility restrictions
• Education to reduce strain during daily activities

Care is always adapted to your symptoms and comfort level.
