Pelvic organ prolapse can feel worrying and unfamiliar, especially when symptoms first appear. Many people describe a sensation of heaviness, pressure or something “not feeling quite right” in the pelvic area.
At The Pelvic Health Studio in Marylebone, we provide specialist physiotherapy to support individuals with pelvic organ prolapse. Our approach focuses on improving pelvic floor function, reducing symptoms and helping you feel more confident in your body.
