Supportive Care For Prolapse Through Expert Physio Care
in Surrey Hills
Pelvic organ prolapse is a common condition affecting many women, particularly after childbirth or during and after menopause. It occurs when one or more pelvic organs, such as the bladder, uterus, or rectum, shift downward and press into the vaginal walls due to weakened pelvic floor muscles and connective tissues.
​
At Eastside Physio + Co, we offer physiotherapy for vaginal prolapse as part of our non-surgical prolapse treatment approach. Our goal is to help women regain comfort, function, and confidence through evidence-based care that supports long-term pelvic health.
We understand how prolapse can affect all areas of your life, from physical discomfort and bladder or bowel symptoms to emotional challenges like anxiety or reduced confidence during daily activities and exercise. You are not alone, and effective, non-surgical treatment options are available.
Common Symptoms of Prolapse
-
Heaviness, dragging, or bulging in the vagina ​​​
-

-
Discomfort during sexual activity
-
