Seeking help from a professional pelvic health physical therapist is crucial for managing pelvic organ prolapse (POP) for several reasons. Physical therapists are trained to assess and treat POP, creating personalized treatment plans tailored to your needs. While DIY methods may help mild cases, POP requires specialized care. Therapy typically involves two sessions per week for about 8 weeks, focusing on targeted exercises beyond regular Kegels, including core strengthening, with home exercises and behavior modifications.
Most health insurance plans cover physical therapy, making it a cost-effective alternative to surgery, which carries risks like mesh implantation, scarring, and infection. Physical therapy is non-invasive and helps strengthen pelvic muscles, support tissue healing, and improve pelvic health, posture, and urinary and bowel function.
A pelvic health physical therapist takes a holistic approach, addressing muscles, joints, and connective tissues, while also managing related issues like incontinence, painful intercourse, or constipation. Personalized care improves outcomes and leads to better symptom management.
Studies show pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) effectively manages POP, with 55% of women reporting symptom improvement after 12 months. However, PFMT mainly restores muscles, not bones or ligaments. Osteoporosis, common in postpartum and postmenopausal women, can worsen POP, and ligament failure is linked to prolapse.
To enhance physical therapy success, we developed the KegelBoost Kit, which includes supplements for stronger bones and topical nutrition for tissue healing. This integrated approach complements PFMT, improving the effectiveness of POP treatment.
In conclusion, seeking professional help from a pelvic health physical therapist is key for effectively managing POP. Combining physical therapy with the KegelBoost Kit provides a comprehensive, non-invasive solution that strengthens muscles, bones, and connective tissues for improved recovery.
