Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) occurs when pelvic organs descend due to weakened support structures. Physiotherapy offers non-surgical interventions:
- Pelvic Floor Muscle Training (PFMT): Regular exercises strengthen pelvic muscles, providing better support and alleviating symptoms like pelvic heaviness and urinary incontinence.
- Postural and Lifestyle Modifications: Educating on proper body mechanics and avoiding activities that increase intra-abdominal pressure can prevent symptom exacerbation.
- Pessary Fitting and Management: Physiotherapists can assist in fitting vaginal pessaries, devices that support pelvic organs, offering relief for moderate to severe prolapse cases.
