Prolapse, incontinence, pessaries
Prolapse and incontinence are common in women of all ages—not just older women. Many women experience prolapse and incontinence postpartum, especially after complicated or difficult deliveries.
We have many treatments available to help you manage symptoms and improve your quality of life. Treatments may include:
Optimizing your lifestyle
Pelvic floor physiotherapy
Pessary fittings
Surgery in some cases
You Are Not Alone
Pelvic floor concerns are extremely common and can affect women at any stage of life — from painful periods and pregnancy to postpartum recovery and postmenopause.
Common symptoms may include:
A feeling of pressure or “bulging” vaginally
Urinary leakage with coughing, sneezing, exercise, or urgency
Difficulty emptying the bladder or bowels
Pelvic heaviness or discomfort
Pelvic pain
Fecal incontinence
Symptoms that worsen with standing, lifting, or exercise
Many women assume these symptoms are simply something they need to “live with,” but there are often effective treatment options available.
What Is Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy?
Pelvic floor physiotherapy focuses on assessing and treating the muscles, connective tissues, and support structures of the pelvis.
Treatment may include:
Education and lifestyle strategies
Pelvic floor muscle assessment and rehabilitation
Bladder and bowel retraining
Exercise guidance
Pregnancy and postpartum support
Prolapse management
Pessary fitting and follow-up care
Treatment plans are individualized and may help improve symptoms, comfort, quality of life, and confidence.

Delay or avoid surgery
Provide support during exercise or physical activity
Different pessary types and sizes are available, and fittings are individualized.
