The Support Solution
Who is This Program For?
This program is meticulously designed for individuals experiencing a spectrum of pelvic floor concerns, including pelvic organ prolapse. If you’ve ever felt an unnerving pressure, a sensation akin to something falling out, or an undeniable heaviness in your pelvic area, this program is tailored for you. It specifically addresses the gradual increase in symptoms over the course of the day and tackles difficulties associated with urinary or bowel functions. For those who perceive a feeling of pelvic weakness or have observed a noticeable bulge in the pelvic floor region, this program offers a comprehensive solution. Additionally, it extends its support to address sexual health concerns, including discomfort, diminished sensation, or any related issues, ensuring a holistic approach to pelvic floor health.
Understanding Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when the muscles and tissues supporting the pelvic organs weaken, causing one or more of these organs—such as the bladder, uterus, or rectum—to descend into the vaginal wall. This condition can lead to symptoms such as a feeling of heaviness or bulging in the pelvic area, urinary incontinence, difficulty emptying the bladder or bowel, and discomfort during physical activities or sexual intercourse.
Prolapse often results from factors such as childbirth, aging, hormonal changes, or chronic pressure on the pelvic floor. At Body Works, we offer specialized pelvic floor therapy to strengthen and support the pelvic muscles, alleviate symptoms, and improve overall quality of life. Our personalized approach aims to restore function and comfort, helping you regain confidence and well-being.
