Don’t suffer the debiltating symptoms of viginal prolapse in silence, we can help.

Prolapse means drop or descent. 60% of women who have had a vaginal delivery will develop a vaginal prolapse at some stage. The symptoms of vaginal prolapse can dramatically reduce your quality of life.

Conservative treatment can help prevent surgery or support surgery if surgery is necessary. Modifying lifestyle factors and having a strong pelvic Floor has been shown to significantly reduce symptoms in many patients.

Vaginal pessaries are another form of conservative treatment, which can reduce the symptoms of pelvic dragging and bulging and improve your quality of life. We can fit vaginal pessaries as part of your conservative treatment plan.

Real time ultra sound technology enables us to show you your pelvic floor & abdominal muscles moving.

Our real time ultra sound, which can also be used as a bladder scanner is extremely useful not only as a diagnostic tool but also to teach clients the correct way of contracting Pelvic Floor and lower abdominal muscles. The ultrasound is used as part of each new clients initial assessment (not used if you are pregnant). It is very rewarding for clients to actually see their Pelvic Floor muscles moving on contraction.

Contact us for a pelvic floor/abdominal assessment and see your muscles in action.
