Today we are covering a Pelvic floor dysfunction condition that is extremely common and can lead to pelvic pain and Incontinence (covered two weeks ago). The condition is called “pelvic floor prolapse" or POP. Statistics estimate over 50% off all pelvic pain is a symptom of POP or PSD (covered next week). POP occurs when the organs of the pelvis fall as a result of weak pelvic floor muscles. This can be quite serious and very uncomfortable. As shown with the pelvic floor model, these muscles take on an extreme amount of force will pregnant and giving birth and if they are not conditioned properly, the pelvic floor muscles cannot accommodate the weight. The weak pelvic floor and over stretching of the ligaments surrounding the pelvic during pregnancy may add to discomfort walking, balancing on one leg and during in*******se.

Never fear, again, there are ways to gently exercise and help strengthen the muscles of the pelvic floor. Specifically with this type of injury, I recommend using caution adding more stress to the pelvic floor. Performing more exercises in a supine (lying face up ) or prone position ( on all fours or on the stomach) may be a gentle way to engage the muscles and build strength. Avoid heavy lifting and of course exercises that involve impact if you suspect you have POP and definitely consult a pelvic floor PT!

The goal to remedy POP is to learn how to engage the pelvic floor muscles and create light TVA tension without over stressing the core. Again, please consult a PT first.
