Pelvic Organ Prolapse Exercise
Reduce Symptoms.
Exercise Safely.
Improve Confidence.
If you are living with pelvic organ prolapse, we want you to know you are not alone. For most women, the first time they hear the phrase ‘pelvic organ prolapse’ is when they are being diagnosed with one. Despite so many women living with some form of pelvic organ prolapse, it is still considered a taboo topic.
While the first stages of prolapse recovery can feel overwhelming and frustrating, there is hope. As a physio-led program, we are passionate about helping you reduce your prolapse symptoms and exercise confidently with pelvic organ prolapse.
What is Pelvic Organ Prolapse?
What is a pelvic organ prolapse?
Prolapse is a hernia caused as a result of the downward movement of the pelvic organs through the ‘levator hiatus’ (the opening in the pelvic floor muscle which allows the urethra, vagina and rectum to pass through) or the anal canal. The common symptoms of prolapse include a vaginal bulge or a feeling of heaviness or dragging in the vagina.
Why does prolapse happen?
Prolapse can happen for a variety of reasons, and it is often caused by a combination of factors. Pregnancy, the type of birth you had, chronic constipation, genetics, weight, and a history of high-impact movement can all contribute to prolapse. The biggest risk increase in a woman’s life for prolapse is her first birth, which gives an almost 10-fold increase in risk.

What is the EMP approach to Pelvic Organ Prolapse Exercise?
It is important to acknowledge the emotional toll of living with prolapse. Prolapse is much more than 'just' a physical condition. It affects every area of your well-being. The Empowered Motherhood Program pelvic organ prolapse program will help you to feel confident physically and emotionally whilst healing your body safely.
Pelvic Floor Exercises
Prolapse isn’t caused solely by a weak pelvic floor, and kegels aren’t the only answer. However, the research shows that strengthening the pelvic floor muscles through pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) can be an effective non-surgical treatment option for managing the symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse. The EMP prolapse-safe exercise program includes pelvic floor exercises to help heal and strengthen your pelvic floor and reduce prolapse symptoms.

Core Co-Activation and Control
How your core functions and transfers pressure can directly affect the amount of load that is placed on your pelvic floor. Building strength and control through your abdominal wall through a safe core rehabilitation program is important for your pelvic floor. The Empowered Motherhood Program will help you to:
- Reduce separation and heal your abdominal wall.
- Understand how to manage internal abdominal pressure and reduce the load on your pelvic floor.
- Build core strength and control for a stronger body that can cope with the demands of life.
