Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) occurs when there is a weakness in pelvic floor muscles or the connective tissue within the pelvis that causes one or more of the pelvic organs to slip or bulge into the vagina.
An initial evaluation (first visit) with a Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist will last anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour, typically.
Just like other muscles in the body, your pelvic floor muscles can experience tightness. When these muscles become too tight or overactive, they can't work as effectively.
Pelvic pain can be a serious problem for both men and women. Pelvic pain is defined by pain in the saddle area, lower abdominals, low back or sometimes into the legs.
